Folic Acid
Industrial Applications
Folic Acid is widely used as a functional ingredient and nutritional supplement due to its essential role in human health. It is particularly important for pregnant women to prevent neural tube defects in embryos. As a result, Folic Acid is commonly added to cereals, grains, nutritional drinks, infant formulas, and dietary supplements.
Physical Properties
Folic Acid is a synthetic B-vitamin (Vitamin B9) that plays a key role in nucleic acid synthesis and amino acid metabolism. It typically appears as a yellow-orange, crystalline powder that is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in dilute alkaline solutions. Folic Acid is stable under dry conditions but can degrade when exposed to light, heat, or acidic environments.
