Ferrous lactate CAS 5905-52-2 is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H10FeO6, and is a green white crystalline powder or crystal. Slightly foul smelling, slightly sweet metallic taste. This product turns yellow brown with iron salts after being damp or oxidized by its aqueous solution. Light can promote oxidation. Iron ions react with other food additives and are prone to coloring. Soluble in water, forming a transparent liquid with a greenish hue and showing acidity. Almost insoluble in ethanol.

Application area

1. Widely used in food, beverages, dairy products, salt, nutrient solutions, pharmaceuticals, etc.

2. Nutritional supplements (iron fortifiers). The daily requirement for adults is 16mg, while for infants it is 6mg (Japanese standard). The amount of iron added for fortified milk powder is about 6mg/100g. The dosage for wheat flour, biscuits and bread is 2-3 mg/100g. The fortified soy milk of this product has a very strong absorption rate (for iron) in rats. Color regulator.

3. Ferrous lactate is a good food iron fortifier with better absorption effect than inorganic iron. According to Chinese regulations, it can be used for sandwich sugar, with a dosage of 600-1200mg/kg (calculated by iron, the same below); It can also be used in dairy products and infant food, with a dosage of 60-100mg/kg (not allowed in infant food in China); It can also be used for grains and their products, with a dosage of 24-48mg/kg; It can also be used in beverages, with a dosage of 10-20mg/kg.

4. Ferrous lactate is a food and feed additive, as well as a drug for treating anemia. The daily requirement for adults is 16mg, while for infants it is 6mg. As an iron fortifier, the United States stipulates a dosage of 3mg/100g in flour, 2mg/100g in bread, and 6mg/100g in milk powder. Iron compounds are unstable to light, and iron ions can react with antioxidants to color, so attention should be paid when using them.
