Water Soluble Ferric Phosphate Powder with High Iron Purity for Iron Supplementation products

What is Food Grade Ferric phosphate?

Food Grade Ferric Phosphate, also known as Iron(III) Phosphate, is an inorganic compound composed of iron and phosphate ions. It is specifically manufactured for use in food fortification to serve as a source of dietary iron. This grade of ferric phosphate is produced under strict quality controls to ensure it meets safety standards for human consumption. It is commonly used in nutritional supplements, fortified foods, and other applications requiring a safe and stable iron source.

Characteristics of Food Grade Ferric Phosphate

1. High Purity and Safety:

• Food grade ferric phosphate is made to meet stringent safety and purity standards, ensuring it is free from harmful contaminants or heavy metals, making it safe for consumption in food products.

2. Stable Compound:

• Ferric phosphate is chemically stable and resistant to degradation. This stability allows it to retain its iron content over time, making it suitable for long-term storage and use in various formulations.

3. Insoluble in Water:

• While ferric phosphate is insoluble in water, it can dissolve in acidic environments, such as the stomach, making it effective for slow and controlled iron release in the body.

4. Non-toxic and Environmentally Safe:

• It is non-toxic, both for human consumption and the environment, and is used in various natural applications such as pest control, without posing risks to humans or beneficial organisms.

5. Iron Fortification:

• Ferric phosphate provides iron in a non-reactive form, making it less likely to interact with other ingredients in fortified food products, preserving the taste and quality of the food.

Application of Food Grade Ferric phosphate:

1. Food Fortification:

• Iron Fortification: Ferric phosphate is commonly used in fortified food products such as breakfast cereals, flour, and pasta to improve the iron content and help combat iron-deficiency anemia. It is used in grain-based products and processed foods that require a stable source of iron.

2. Nutritional Supplements:

• It is included in iron supplements as a source of dietary iron, helping to prevent and treat iron-deficiency anemia. Ferric phosphate provides a controlled release of iron in the gastrointestinal system, making it a preferred option in slow-release formulations.

3. Pharmaceuticals:

• In the pharmaceutical industry, ferric phosphate is used in the production of iron supplements or medications aimed at treating iron-deficiency conditions. It can be found in capsules, tablets, or powdered forms, offering a steady iron source without the harsh gastrointestinal side effects that can be caused by other iron salts.

Key Benefits of Food Grade Ferric Phosphate

1. Safe and Non-Toxic:

• Manufactured to strict food-grade standards, ferric phosphate is safe for use in fortified foods and dietary supplements without posing risks of toxicity or contamination.

2. Iron Source for Fortification:

• Ferric phosphate provides a stable and reliable source of iron, helping to address widespread iron deficiencies through food fortification and supplementation.

3. Eco-Friendly Pest Control:

• As a natural pest control agent, ferric phosphate offers a safe and effective way to manage pests in organic agriculture, protecting crops while preserving the environment.

4. Versatile Applications:

• Ferric phosphate is a versatile compound used in food fortification, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental management, making it an important material in various industries.

5. Stable and Non-Reactive:

• Unlike other iron compounds, ferric phosphate is non-reactive and does not affect the flavor or appearance of fortified foods, making it ideal for food fortification applications.
