Niacin Powder

Product Introduction

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is one of the water-soluble B vitamins. Niacin occurs naturally in many animal foods such as poultry, beef and fish in its highly bioavailable forms NAD and NADP. Plant foods such as nuts, legumes and grains contain it mainly in the form of niacin (nicotinic acid). Natural nicotinic acid (niacin) occurs naturally in some cereal products and is mostly bound to polysaccharides and glycopeptides, resulting in only about 30% bioavailability. The free form of niacin, which is highly bioavailable, is added to breads, cereals and infant formulas in the United States and some other countries.

Product Function

 

Niacin absorbed by the body is converted in our body tissues to its main metabolically active form, the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). In all tissues except skeletal muscle, NAD is also converted to another active form, the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). More than 400 enzymes in the body require NAD for catalytic reactions, a reaction that involves more coenzymes than any other vitamin-derived coenzyme. In addition to this, NAD is involved in energy metabolism and plays a key role in cellular functions such as controlling gene expression. NADP promotes anabolic reactions such as cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis and plays an important role in maintaining cellular antioxidant function.

Severe niacin deficiency can lead to pellagra, a disease that is very rare in industrialised societies. Such diseases are common in people living in extreme poverty and with unbalanced protein intake in their diets. Pellagra is characterised by a pigmented rash or brown discolouration of the skin after exposure to sunlight, which may lead to redness of the tongue, digestive abnormalities, vomiting, constipation or diarrhoea. Neurological symptoms of pellagra include depression, apathy, headaches, fatigue, memory loss to the point of prompting aggressive paranoid behaviour, suicide, hallucinations and hallucinations. As pellagra progresses, anorexia can develop, eventually leading to death.

 

Product Application 

Niacin is available in 3 commercial specifications, namely food grade, feed grade and pharmaceutical grade. Niacin is mainly used as a nutritional additive (water-soluble vitamin) for feed, and also used as an intermediate in food, medicine and dyes, as well as an additive in electroplating solution and a biochemical reagent.

1.Niacin in the field of pharmaceutical synthesis
Niacin is used as a medicine to combat skin diseases and similar vitamin deficiencies with vasodilatory effects. Niacin can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of amides and esters with important pharmaceutical uses.

2.Application of niacin as auxiliary agent
Niacin is an indispensable food and feed additive for the growth and development of humans and animals. Therefore, niacin is widely used as an additive for pastry, dairy products, cornflour, etc.; niacin can also be used in combination with vitamins to replace some of the nitrites as a deodorant or preservative for meat products, and in addition, niacin can be used as a preservative for vegetables. According to the situation of feeding industry in China, the standard of adding niacin in China is 9-24mg per kg of pig feed (dry basis) and 10-27mg per kg of chicken feed (dry basis).
3.Food additives
Niacin belongs to vitamin B family, which is involved in lipid metabolism, oxidative process and anaerobic decomposition process in human body. Niacin is widely used in pasta processing, dairy products and cornflour making. Adding a certain amount of niacin to food can effectively prevent the occurrence of this type of deficiency.
4. Feed additives
Niacin is an indispensable substance for the growth and development of animals. Niacin in cereal feeds mainly exists in the form of bound state, and it is difficult for animals to absorb it, so it is necessary to artificially add synthetic nicotinic acid to feeds.
5. Active dyes
Because nicotinic acid can make the fibre dyeing lasting, wide range of application, good uniformity, so nicotinic acid in the dyestuff industry is outstanding, become a variety of intermediates of reactive dyestuffs.
6.Daily-use chemical industry products
In the daily-use chemical industry, nicotinic acid can be formulated with other daily-use chemical raw materials into products with excellent performance, such as hair dyeing aids and detergents.
7.Other applications
Nicotinic acid is an important chemical auxiliary and corrosion inhibitor, and can be used as antioxidant and anti-grey haze agent in photographic materials. In electroplating, nicotinic acid is also an excellent brightening additive, as long as 1-10g of nicotinic acid is added to each litre of electroplating solution, it will have a remarkable effect. Nicotinic acid is used as antioxidant and anti-gray mist agent in photographic materials. Will be 0.1% of the nicotinic acid aqueous solution added to the photographic emulsion, can increase the stability of the photographic material to the light; in each millilitre of the photographic emulsion to add 5-20mL 0.1% of the nicotinic acid aqueous solution can reduce the photographic material of the grey haze.
