Uses and synthesis of Manganese Citrate powder

Manganese Citrate powder is a pale orange or pink white powder. A nutritional supplement (manganese fortifier). Manganese Citrate can be used in bakery products, non-alcoholic beverages, dairy products, fish products, meat products; Contains dairy products, poultry products, infant formula milk powder, the amount is not limited.

Uses and Applications of Manganese Citrate

Dietary supplements: This is the most important application of manganese citrate. As a supplementary source of manganese, it is used to prevent and treat manganese deficiency. Manganese is an essential trace element for the human body and is involved in the function of multiple enzyme systems. It is essential for bone health, antioxidants, energy metabolism, nerve function, etc. Manganese citrate is used as an ingredient in oral manganese supplements, made into tablets, capsules, etc.

Food additives (some regions): In some countries or regions, manganese citrate may be approved as a food additive for use as:

Nutritional enhancer: Used to increase the manganese content in food to make up for the lack of manganese intake in the population.

Acidity regulator: May be used as an acidity regulator in some foods.

However, the use of manganese citrate as a food additive may not be as widespread as other manganese salts (such as manganese sulfate, manganese gluconate), and regulations may vary from country to country.

Animal feed additive: In animal husbandry, manganese citrate can also be used as an animal feed additive to supplement manganese for animals, promote animal growth and development, and prevent diseases caused by manganese deficiency.

Scientific research use: In the research fields of biochemistry, nutrition, etc., manganese citrate may be used as an experimental reagent to study the mechanism of action of manganese.

What are the health benefits of manganese citrate?

Support bone health: Manganese is involved in bone formation and maintenance of bone density, and is essential for bone health. Adequate manganese intake helps prevent osteoporosis.

Antioxidant effect: Manganese is an important component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that helps remove free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress damage. Manganese citrate can be used as a source of manganese to enhance the body's antioxidant capacity.

Participate in energy metabolism: Manganese is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, helping to maintain normal energy metabolism and provide energy for physical activities.

Support nervous system function: Manganese has a certain effect on the synthesis of neurotransmitters and nerve signal transmission, and may help maintain normal neurological and cognitive functions.

Promote wound healing: Manganese is involved in the synthesis of collagen, which is an important component of skin and connective tissue, and has a promoting effect on wound healing.

Regulate blood sugar levels (preliminary research): Some studies have shown that manganese may be related to blood sugar regulation, but the relevant evidence is not sufficient and more research is needed to confirm.

Preparation method of Manganese Citrate powder

Manganese carbonate method: Manganese carbonate is reacted with citric acid aqueous solution. The simplified form of the reaction equation can be expressed as:

MnCO₃ + C₆H₈O₇ → MnC₆H₅O₇ + H₂O + CO₂↑

(The actual reaction may be more complicated, and the product composition depends on the reaction conditions and the valence state of manganese. The above equation is only a simplified illustration)

Manganese carbonate reacts with citric acid to produce manganese citrate, water and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide escapes in the form of gas, and the reaction liquid is filtered, washed, dried and other steps to obtain the finished manganese citrate.

Manganese (II) oxide method/manganese (II) hydroxide method: Manganese (II) oxide (MnO) or manganese (II) hydroxide (Mn(OH)₂) can also be used as a manganese source to react with citric acid to prepare manganese citrate.
