Uses and synthesis of Folic acid powder

Folic Acid powder is an important water-soluble B vitamin, isolated from spinach in 1941, and named for its rich content in green leaves, also known as pteroylglutamate. Folic Acid is a dark yellow substance that is not easily dissolved in water and has a high solubility in sodium salts. It is thermally stable in neutral and alkaline solutions, and decomposes at temperatures above 100 ° C in acidic solutions. Folic Acid and its sodium salts are destroyed by light in solution. It is widely found in nature in foods such as green plants, meat, beans and yeast.

Folic Acid powder is an important coenzyme in the human body, which is involved in the substrate conversion process of various metabolic pathways in the body. The main role of folic acid is to participate in the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA, which has a crucial role in fetal development and cell division. Folic Acid powder is very important in pregnant women and developing children, and is also beneficial for maintaining normal hemoglobin synthesis and maintaining normal choline metabolism.

Applications/Functions of Folic acid powder

1. Folic acid powder is used as a food fortiser. When folic acid is deficient, DNA synthesis must be inhibited, DNA synthesis of myeloblastic erythrocytes decreases, cell division rate decreases, and cell volume increases. Mild folate deficiency can lead to depression, while severe folate deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia.
2. Biochemical research; Clinical drugs for vitamin B family, used in the treatment of pregnancy and infant giant cell anemia.
3. Folic acid is used as a biochemical reagent and is also used in the pharmaceutical industry
4. Used as a biochemical reagent; As a food fortification agent; It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry

Physicochemical Property of Folic acid powder

Yellow to orange crystalline or crystalline powder, odorless. It is easily soluble in alkaline solution, carbonate solution, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, phenol and pyridine, slightly soluble in water, insoluble in acetone, ethanol, ether and chloroform, and the pH value of 10% water suspension is 4.0 ~ 4.8. Stable in the air, it is decomposed by light and loses its physiological activity.

Production methodprocess of Folic acid powder

Folic acid powder was prepared from 2, 4, 5-triamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine, p-amino-benzoylglutamic acid and trichloroacetone in the presence of sodium acetate and sodium pyrosulfite.
