Description
The 500,000 IU/g spray-dried cold-water-soluble format of Vitamin A Palmitate, designed for food fortification and supplement applications requiring water dispersion. The 'S' designation indicates starch-carrier (versus 'A' for alginate-carrier variants).
Yellow to brown free-flowing powder. Spray-dried modified-starch matrix provides water dispersion and oxidation protection.
We supply food-grade Vitamin A Palmitate 500 SD CWS/S from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include this 500 SD CWS/S format, the corresponding 500 SD CWS/A (alginate-carrier variant), 500 CWS without spray-drying designation, and pre-blended systems for premix manufacturing.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering potency, particle size, water dispersion, peroxide value, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
This SKU is the 500,000 IU/g spray-dried cold-water-soluble (CWS) format of Vitamin A Palmitate with starch carrier ('S' designation), distinct from the 500 SD CWS/A variant (alginate carrier, catalog id 14665) and from oil-format Vitamin A Palmitate (catalog id 13020) by physical state and intended application.
Production starts with Vitamin A Palmitate oil concentrate, which is emulsified with modified starch carrier in water, then spray-dried under controlled conditions to yield free-flowing powder with the active vitamin protected within starch beadlets.
Regulatory status follows that of standard Vitamin A Palmitate (GRAS in the U.S., approved globally for food use).
The choice between starch and alginate carriers drives subtle differences in finished-product behavior: starch carrier ('S') provides faster water dispersion and lower cost; alginate carrier ('A') provides slightly better shelf stability and is preferred in some pharmaceutical applications. Most food fortification applications use the starch variant.
Strategic positioning serves water-dispersible food fortification specifically, where standard Vitamin A oil cannot be used due to phase-separation issues in aqueous food matrices.
