Food Grade Folic Acid Vitamin B9 CAS 59-30-3 Nutritional Fortifier

Folic Acid (Vitamin B9, Pteroylglutamic Acid, CAS:59-30-3,EINECS:200-419-0, HS Code:2936290090, molecular formula C₁₉H₁₉N₇O₆, MW:441.40) is a yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder with no odor or taste, produced via advanced chemical synthesis process followed by multi-stage purification and crystallization. Our food grade folic acid strictly complies with GB 14758-2010, FCC, USP and EU food safety standards, with purity ranging from 96.0% to 102.0%. It is slightly soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol and ether, exhibiting sensitivity to ultraviolet light and alkaline conditions. As an essential water-soluble B vitamin, it plays a critical role in nucleic acid synthesis, cell division and growth, and is particularly important for preventing fetal neural tube defects during early pregnancy. It is widely used as a nutritional fortifier in various food products and dietary supplements worldwide.
