Water Soluble Ferrous Lacate For Dairy Products And Liquid Iron Supplementation Products

What is ferrous Lacate ?

Ferrous lactate (Ferrous Lacate), molecular formula C6H10FeO6·nH2O (n=2 or 3), dihydrate iron content 20.7%, 120 mesh pass rate 95~100%, light yellow-green crystalline powder, strong iron smell, soluble in water, solubility at room temperature is about 1.9g/100mL, unstable in nature, after being damp or its aqueous solution oxidized, it turns into yellow-brown containing orthoferric salt, and light can promote the oxidation process.

Ferrous lactate needs to be sealed and stored away from light when used with other food additives. As an iron nutrient enhancer, ferrous lactate can be widely used in food, dairy products, and nutrient solution.

In the pharmaceutical industry, ferrous lactate can be used to treat iron deficiency anemia.

Water Soluble Ferrous Lactate is an iron salt derived from lactic acid. It is a highly bioavailable form of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. Due to its water solubility and gentle nature, ferrous lactate is particularly suitable for use in dairy products and liquid iron supplementation products. It serves as an excellent source of iron for preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia, especially in populations that may struggle with solid supplement forms.

Characteristics of Water Soluble Ferrous Lactate

1. High Solubility in Water:

• Ferrous lactate dissolves easily in water, making it ideal for liquid formulations such as iron supplements and fortified beverages. Its high solubility ensures uniform distribution of iron throughout the liquid product.

2. Mild Flavor Impact:

• Compared to other iron salts, ferrous lactate has a minimal metallic taste, making it suitable for use in dairy products and other food applications where flavor preservation is critical.

3. High Bioavailability:

• Ferrous lactate is known for its high bioavailability, meaning the body can efficiently absorb and utilize the iron, making it an effective choice for addressing iron deficiency.

4. Gentle on the Digestive System:

• Due to its lactic acid component, ferrous lactate is gentler on the stomach compared to other iron salts, which helps reduce common side effects like constipation or nausea.

5. Neutral pH Compatibility:

• Ferrous lactate remains stable in neutral and slightly acidic environments, making it suitable for dairy products and liquid supplements without causing significant pH changes or compromising the quality of the product.

6. Stability in Liquid Formulations:

• It maintains stability in liquid products, preventing oxidation and undesirable changes in taste, appearance, or nutritional value.

Application characteristics of ferrous lactate

1. Ferrous lactate reacts with other food additives and is easy to color, so it needs to be stored in a sealed container away from light.

2. Ferrous ions are easily absorbed by the human body and will not irritate the stomach and intestines after taking them, but there is an iron smell.

3. Ferrous lactate is soluble in water and is suitable for milk and dairy products.

4. Ferrous lactate solution can effectively inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
