Uses and synthesis of Vitamin A powder

Vitamin A powder is a fat-soluble vitamin also known as retinol. It is a yellow crystal that is insoluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. Vitamin A, which is converted into retinal and retinoic acid in the body, is a component of retinal rhodopsin in vision and is important for maintaining normal vision. Vitamin A's main functions include promoting growth and development, maintaining skin health, boosting immunity, and regulating gene expression in human cells.

Applications/Functions of Vitamin A powder

1. Vitamin A powder is the constituent of photosensitive substances in visual cells, which can ensure the integrity and health of epithelial tissue structure and promote the development and growth of the body. When lacking, it will hinder growth and development, decline reproductive function, and easily get "night blindness". Retinol acetate is generally added to feed.
2. Vitamin A is used in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules and as a vitamin feed additive in the feed industry
3. Vitamin A is a component of photosensitive substances in visual cells, and lysine is an essential amino acid in the human body, which can maintain the integrity and health of epithelial tissue structure and promote the growth and development of the body.

Physicochemical Property of Vitamin A powder

Light yellow flake crystal, melting point 62 ~ 64℃. Soluble in oil or organic solvents, insoluble in water. It is easy to oxidize in air and metamorphic in case of light. Antimony trichloride has a characteristic blue reaction, is vulnerable to ultraviolet light and oxygen in the air, and can be protected when co-existing with vitamin C.

Production methodprocess of Vitamin A powder

Vitamin A can be made from cod liver oil by molecular distillation and chromatography, but the pure form is chemically synthesized.
