Uses and synthesis of Ferrous gluconate powder

Ferrous gluconate powder, C12H22O14Fe·2H2O, has a molecular mass of 482.18. It can be used as a color protection agent and nutrition fortification agent in food, and can be made from reduced iron to neutralize gluconic acid. Ferrous gluconate is characterized by high bioavailability, good solubility in water, peaceful flavor and non-astringent taste, and is more strengthened in milk beverages, but it is also easy to cause changes in food color and flavor, which limits its application to a certain extent.

Functions of Ferrous gluconate powder

1. Treatment of iron deficiency anemia: Ferrous gluconate can provide iron to the human body and promote the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen. When the body's iron content is insufficient, hemoglobin production decreases, leading to iron deficiency anemia. Supplementing with ferrous gluconate can effectively improve the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, etc.

2. Prevention of iron deficiency: For people with high iron requirements, such as pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, adolescents and women with heavy menstrual flow, ferrous gluconate can be used to prevent iron deficiency. Due to their physiological characteristics or living habits, these people are more likely to lose iron or have insufficient iron intake, so they need additional iron supplementation.

3. Supplementing iron: Iron is an essential trace element for the human body and is involved in many physiological processes, such as oxygen transport, energy metabolism and immune function. Ferrous gluconate can provide the human body with easily absorbed iron to maintain normal physiological functions.

Physicochemical Property of Ferrous gluconate powder

Ferrous gluconate Yellowish gray or light greenish yellow fine powder or particles. Soluble in water (10g/100mg warm water), almost insoluble in ethanol. 5% aqueous solution is acidic to litmus, which can be stabilized by adding glucose to aqueous solution. It has a slight caramel smell.

Production methodprocess of Ferrous gluconate powder

Ferrous gluconate powder is obtained by neutralizing gluconic acid with reduced iron.
