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)
Technical Parameters
  • Flow Rate 15-30 kg/min
  • Bulk Density 0.3-0.6 g/cm³
  • Surface Area 100-300 m²/g
  • Moisture Content <5%
  • Absorption Capacity 20-40% by weight
  • Particle Size Distribution 50-200 microns
Standards
ISO 22000, ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR Part 110
