Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between Vitamin A Acetate and Vitamin A Palmitate?

Both are ester forms of Vitamin A. Acetate is an acetic acid ester, while Palmitate is a palmitic acid ester. Both are converted to Retinol in the body. Acetate is often preferred in dry powder forms due to its slightly higher stability, while Palmitate is common in oil-based applications.

The powder form is essential for dry blended products like flour, milk powder, and tablet formulations where oil would cause clumping, impede flow, and be unstable. Encapsulation protects the sensitive Vitamin A from degrading during processing and storage.

Why use a powder form instead of an oil form for fortification?

Yes, our Vitamin A Acetate Powder is specifically designed with excellent flow and compression properties, making it an ideal ingredient for direct compression into supplement tablets without the need for additional granulation.

Is this product suitable for direct compression into tablets?

It must be stored in a cool, dry place (below 25°C/77°F is ideal) in a tightly sealed, light-resistant container. Under these conditions, the encapsulated powder maintains its potency for much longer than liquid forms.

: How should this powder be stored to maintain its potency?

While it is primarily designed for dry applications, it can be used in liquid systems. The powder will disperse, and the encapsulation matrix will dissolve, releasing the Vitamin A acetate oil droplets into the liquid. Homogenization may be required to create a stable emulsion, and the stability in the final liquid product must be validated.
