Detailed Description

Ferrous gluconate, molecular formula C12H22O14Fe · 2H2O, relative molecular mass of 482.18. In food can be used as a color protectant, nutrition enhancer, by the reduced iron and glucose acid from. it is characterized by high bioavailability, good solubility in water, flat and astringent flavor, enhanced in milk drinks, but also easily leads to changes in food color and flavor, to a certain extent, limiting its application

Functions

Ferrous gluconate is yellow-gray or light yellow-green crystal granules or powder with a slight caramel odor. Dissolved in water, 5% aqueous solution is acidic, almost insoluble in ethanol, the theoretical iron content of 12%. Ferrous gluconate is easily absorbed, has no irritation to the digestive system, has no side effect, and has no influence on the sensory performance and flavor of food, and can also be used as a medicine to treat anemia

Applications

Production route
(1) made of reduced iron and gluconic acid.
(2) barium or calcium gluconate hot solution with ferrous sulfate reaction.
(3) by the newly prepared ferric carbonate and gluconic acid in aqueous solution heated reaction derived
