Uses and synthesis of all-trans-Retinol powder

all-trans-Retinol 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. all-trans-Retinol can be converted into retinal and retinoic acid in the body and is a component of retinal rhodopsin in the process of vision, which is very important for the maintenance of normal vision. The main functions of all-trans-Retinol include promoting growth and development, maintaining skin health, enhancing immunity and playing a role in regulating gene expression in human cells.

Applications/Functions of all-trans-Retinol powder

1. all-trans-Retinol powder is a component 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. all-trans-Retinol is used in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules as a vitamin-like feed additive in the feed industry
3. all-trans-Retinol constitutes the component of photosensitive substances in visual cells. Lysine is an essential amino acid for 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 all-trans-Retinol 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 all-trans-Retinol powder

all-trans-Retinol can be obtained from cod liver oil by molecular distillation and chromatography, but the pure product is obtained by chemical synthesis.
