It is easily to be decomposed when exposed to light and with being decomposed upon being heated to 120 ℃. Yellow Oil Phylloquinone is an odorless yellow viscous oil or crystals.


Vitamin K1is a fat-soluble, dietary nutrient that is essential for the synthesis of proteins important for blood-clotting, bone metabolism, and cell growth. It is found in the photosynthetic tissues of green, leafy plants, where it acts as an electron acceptor forming part of the electron transport chain of Photosystem I. Vitamin K1also serves as a precursor to vitamin K2and is reported to exhibit anticancer activity in various cell lines.

Phylloquinone is photosensitive; decomposes in sunlight and is destroyed by alkali hydroxides and reducing agents such as hydrideds and active metals. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.

Vitamin K1 Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

In the presence of zinc, o-methylnaphthoquinone and acetic anhydride are reduced and acetylated to form acetylated menadione; then hydrolyzed in ammonia, and then catalyzed by boron trifluoride in ether to condense with plant alcohols to obtain dihydrovitamin K1 ; Finally, the product is obtained by hydrolysis, oxidation, purification and refining.

Uses

Occurs widely in green plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria.


1. It can be used as food supplements. It can be used in infant foods with the usage amount being 420~475μg/kg.2. It belongs to vitamin drugs to be used for the prevention and treatment of vitamin K1 deficiency symptom, low thrombin disease and natural newborn hemorrhagic disease.3. promote blood clotting.4. promote the synthesis of primary liver thrombin.5. increase the intestinal motility and secretion function.
