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.

Applications/Functions of Ferrous gluconate powder

• Nutrient supplement (iron fortification agent); Pigment additives.
• Ferrous gluconate powder is used as an anti-anemia drug, iron fortifier, and nutritional fortifier

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.
