Vitamin A palmitate 1.7M is a thick yellow oil at room temperature, soluble in fats and oils. Storage below 20°C will extend shelf life but may lead to crystallization. Gentle heating at temperatures below 40°C and full mixing before use will melt and homogenize the product.
Vitamin A palmitate, chemically known as retinol acetate, was the first vitamin discovered. There are two types of vitamin A: retinol, the original form of VA, which is found only in animals; The other is beta carotene. Retinol can be composed of beta-carotene from plants. In vivo, under the catalysis of beta-carotene-15 and 15 '-dioxygenase, beta-carotene is converted to murine aldehyde, which is returned to retinol by the action of murine reductase. So beta-carotene is also known as a vitamin precursor. Vitamin A palmitate powder is A group of unsaturated nutrient organic compounds that includes retinol, retinal, retinoic acid and several vitamin A procarotenoids, of which beta-carotene is the most important. |
