Carrier substrate: Flow Rate 15-30 kg/min, Moisture Content <5%

Q: What is the primary function of a carrier substrate in vitamin premix machines?

The carrier substrate serves as a stable matrix that uniformly distributes vitamins, prevents segregation during handling, and protects nutrients from degradation during food processing.

Q: How does carrier substrate particle size affect vitamin premix quality?

Optimal particle size (50-200 microns) ensures proper flow characteristics, prevents dust formation, and provides adequate surface area for vitamin adhesion and uniform distribution.

Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized component in high-stability vitamin premix concentrate machines that serves as a stable, inert matrix for uniformly distributing and protecting micronutrients during food fortification processes. It ensures precise dosing, prevents segregation, and maintains vitamin potency throughout production.

Working Principle

The carrier substrate provides a homogeneous surface area for vitamin adhesion through physical adsorption and mechanical mixing. It absorbs and stabilizes liquid vitamins, then releases them uniformly during blending with food products, maintaining consistent nutrient distribution while preventing degradation from heat, moisture, or oxidation.

Materials

Food-grade silica, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, or calcium phosphate; particle size: 50-200 microns; moisture content: <5%; bulk density: 0.3-0.6 g/cm³; pH neutral (6.5-7.5)
