Zinc Gluconate

 

Zinc gluconate is a white or off-white crystalline powder formed by the chelation of gluconic acid and zinc ions. It has good water solubility and high bioavailability. It is often used as a zinc supplement raw material in food, health products and medicines, and is suitable for children, pregnant women, the elderly and other people who have a high demand for zinc intake.

 

 

1. Chemical Name: ZINC GLUCONATE

3. Molecular Weight: 455.67500

4. CAS: 4468-02-4

5. Character:Under normal temperature for white crystalline or granular powder, odorless, slightly astringent taste, easily dissolved in boiling water, dissolved in water, in anhydrous ethanol chloroform or ether insoluble.

6. Usage: Widely used in health care products, medicine and food, has an important role in the intelligence and physical development of infants and teenagers, better absorption effect than inorganic zinc in the food industry as a nutritional supplement (zinc fortifier), can be added in dairy products.

7,Packing: It is packed with plastic bag as inner layer, and a compound plastic woven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.

8,Storage and Transport: It should be stored in a dry and ventilating warehouse, kept away form water and moisture during transport, unloaded with care so as to avoid damage to bags. Furthermore, it should be stored separately from poisonous substances.

 

 

High Absorption Rate
Zinc gluconate is a stable organic chelate. The zinc ions it carries are not easy to combine with phosphates, oxalic acid and other substances in the gastrointestinal tract to form insoluble precipitates, thereby increasing its overall absorption rate to more than 60%, which is more suitable for long-term zinc supplementation for children and the elderly with weak absorption capacity.

 

Easily Soluble In Water
The water solubility of zinc gluconate in room temperature water is as high as 10 g/100 mL. It can be quickly dispersed in liquids such as beverages and syrups without the need for additional cosolvents or high-temperature treatment, avoiding precipitation and stratification. It is suitable for a variety of liquid formulas such as children's drinks, functional drinking water, and injections.

 

Mild Taste
Because gluconic acid molecules can form a stable chelate structure with zinc ions, zinc ions are firmly wrapped inside organic molecules, and the release rate slows down, thereby reducing the metallic bitterness caused by the instantaneous release of free zinc, which is especially suitable for people with sensitive taste.

 

Good Anti-hygroscopicity
Zinc gluconate is a crystalline powder with a dense particle surface structure, which is not easy to combine with water molecules in the air. Therefore, it can still remain dry and loose in an environment with a relative humidity of 30% to 70%, and is not easy to agglomerate, which is convenient for long-term storage and transportation.

 

 

Raw Materials For Children's Nutrition Products
Zinc gluconate is widely used in children's chewable tablets, zinc supplement syrups and other products to improve symptoms related to zinc deficiency such as loss of appetite and susceptibility to colds.

 

Ingredients For Adult Health Products
Zinc gluconate is often used as a source of trace elements in adult multivitamins and immunity-enhancing health products to maintain skin health and improve sub-health conditions.

 

Medical Zinc Supplements
Zinc gluconate is used in pharmaceutical zinc supplements such as oral liquids and tablets to treat mild to moderate zinc deficiency, such as zinc loss caused by chronic diarrhea or long-term malnutrition.

 

Animal Feed Additives
Zinc gluconate can be used as a trace element additive in animal feed to promote the growth and development of livestock and poultry, improve immunity and reproductive performance.
