Iron Liposomal Solves Rancid Smell Problem and Discoloration Issues premixed with Vitamin C

What is ferric pyrophosphate ?

Ferric pyrophosphate is a common food nutrient enhancer and is often used in powdered products such as milk powder, rice flour, milk powder, and milk beverages as an iron nutrient enhancer.

Iron is not present in high levels in the human body, but it plays an extremely important role. For example, it participates in hematopoiesis, hemoglobin synthesis, and improving the body's immunity.

The application characteristics of ferric pyrophosphate

Ferric pyrophosphate is stable in nature, resistant to high temperatures, not easily oxidized, and has no color or taste like other iron supplements, and will not change the properties of food. In addition, when absorbed in the body, ferric pyrophosphate, as a trivalent iron supplement, is safer than ferrous iron supplements, has less irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, and has no adverse reactions or side effects.

However, ferric pyrophosphate will also encounter some problems during use. For example, when making a nutrition pack, it is compounded with auxiliary materials such as fat and protein. Long storage time will accelerate the rancidity of fat, resulting in the production of a "rancid smell", affecting the shelf life. In addition, when ferric pyrophosphate is compounded with raw materials containing vitamin C, the product will turn black or gray after being placed for a period of time, affecting the appearance and use.

why iron liposomal (liposomized ferrous pyrophosphate) is better than normal ferrous pyrophosphate?

In order to solve these problems, Ruipu uses microencapsulation steady-state technology and encapsulation technology to produce different types of iron pyrophosphate microcapsule powders that can solve these problems, as well as liposome iron pyrophosphate produced by a new generation of technology that is easier to absorb.

Iron liposomal technology is revolutionizing the way iron supplements are formulated and utilized, addressing common issues such as rancidity and discoloration. By encapsulating iron in liposomes, manufacturers can enhance stability and maintain the integrity of the product over time, leading to a more effective and appealing product for consumers.

Advantages of iron liposomal

1. Good Flowability

Microencapsulated liposomal ferric pyrophosphate has good flowability, which make it more easily to be applied in different dosage of products.

2. Solve the problem of Rancid taste

When ferric pyrophosphate is mixed with auxiliary materials such as fats and proteins, if it is left for a long time, it will accelerate the rancidity of the fat, causing the production of a "rancid smell" and affecting the shelf life. Liposomal encapsulation protects iron from exposure to oxygen and light, which are primary contributors to rancidity. By isolating the iron within lipid layers, liposomes create a barrier that significantly reduces oxidation, thereby enhancing the stability of the product and preserving its quality over time.

3. Solve the problem of Discoloration

Solve the problem of blackening of vitamin C and ferric pyrophosphate. Vitamin C will turn black when combined with ordinary ferric pyrophosphate, but it will not turn black if lipidated ferric pyrophosphate is used.

The liposomal delivery system not only protects against rancidity but also minimizes discoloration. By preventing direct exposure to environmental factors, liposomes help maintain the original color and appearance of the iron supplement. This ensures that the product remains visually appealing and trustworthy for consumers.

4. High bioavailability

Liposomal ferric pyrophosphate refers to ferric pyrophosphate coated with phospholipids. The main component of phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, has good biocompatibility with the cell membrane in the human body. This characteristic is used to improve the bioavailability of ferric pyrophosphate in the human body.
