Description
Thiamine Mononitrate Product Overview
Thiamine mononitrate (C12H17N5O4S) is a white to almost white crystalline powder that is sparingly soluble in water. It also decomposes at about 248–250°C. Compared with Vitamin B1 Thiamine Hydrochloride, it absorbs much less moisture, which makes it more stable in dry products.
Food producers therefore prefer thiamine mononitrate for fortifying flour, breakfast cereals, pasta and infant cereals. Similarly, pharmaceutical companies and producers of nutritional products use it in multivitamin tablets and capsules, while feed producers add it to vitamin premixes. For liquid and injectable products, the more soluble hydrochloride usually finds use.
Furthermore, other B vitamins in our range include Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3), Riboflavin Vitamin B2 and D-Biotin (Vitamin B7).
