Uses and synthesis of Betaine powder

Betaine powder, also known as trimethylaminoethyl lactone, betaine, and trimethylammonium ethyl lactone, is a quaternary ammonium derivative of glycine. Betaine powder is a nitromethyl compound or trimethyl lactone formed after the hydrogen on the amino acid is replaced by a methyl group. Betaine is sweet and deliquescent. Melting point 293℃, 300℃ decomposition, soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, insoluble in ether, Betaine can be widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical, printing and dyeing, chemical and other fields. Anhydrous betaine is an efficient and high quality nutrient additive. Pharmaceutical grade Betaine powder can be used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, juice industries, as well as dental materials, and betaine can also be used in the fermentation industry.

Applications/Functions of Betaine powder

1. Betaine powder is a betaine amphoteric surfactant used as levelling agent for VAT dye dyeing.
2. Betaine can be used as a feed additive. It is a natural and efficient methyl donor, which can partially replace methionine and choline chloride, reduce feed cost, reduce pig backfat, and improve lean meat rate and carcass quality.
3. Betaine is used as a feed additive to promote animal growth and disease resistance

Physicochemical Property of Betaine powder

Colorless crystalline or white crystalline powder, odorless, sweet. Slightly soluble in ether. Trimethylamine breaks down in a concentrated base

Production methodprocess of Betaine powder

Betaine powder can be recovered from beet mother liquor. It can also be formed by methylation of amino acetic acid or by the interaction of chloroacetic acid with trimethylamine.
