Description
Vitamin A Palmitate Oil 1.7 MIU/g is a high-potency, fat-soluble vitamin A ester in concentrated oil form. It appears as a yellow to brownish-yellow oily liquid that mixes readily into fats, oils and oil-phase systems. The palmitate ester is the preferred commercial form of vitamin A: it is far more stable than retinol against light, oxygen and heat, while remaining fully bioavailable. Its extreme potency means fortification of foods and supplements requires only trace additions, which keeps costs low and simplifies dosing. Vitamin A supports vision, immune function, skin integrity and normal growth, making it an essential nutrient for dairy, infant and supplement applications. Produced under food-grade specifications with a 24-month shelf life in unopened drums, it provides a dependable, high-potency vitamin A source for global markets. It is packed 20 kg net in steel drums and keeps for 24 months unopened, stored protected from light at 8 to 15 degrees Celsius. The ester form also withstands the temperatures of oil-based processing better than free retinol. In practice it is diluted into oil premixes and added to dairy and margarine production, where its extreme potency means dosing pumps handle milliliters rather than kilograms. It also fills softgel capsules directly. The product is manufactured under strict hygiene controls with documented test results for purity, heavy metals and microbial safety, ready for audit when customers require. How the palmitate oil works: retinyl palmitate is the ester form chosen for commercial vitamin A because it resists the oxidation that destroys free retinol, while remaining fully bioavailable after digestion. Its extreme potency - over a million IU per gram - means fortification requires only trace additions, which keeps dosing pumps accurate and oil blends balanced. Practical guidance: dilute it into oil premixes for dairy, margarine and edible oils; fill softgels directly; use it in infant formula oil blends; and apply it in cosmetics as retinyl palmitate. Quality assurance: produced under food-grade specifications with vitamin A content, acid value, peroxide value, heavy metals and microbiology tested per batch, documented for buyers. Packed 20 kg in steel drums, stored at 8-15 degrees Celsius, with a 24-month unopened shelf life. For fortification programs, this oil is the stable, high-potency standard. Specification highlights: it is packed in 5kg/drum with a minimum order quantity of 50kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Quality system overview: production follows the food-grade or pharmacopeia standards listed in the specification, with defined raw-material sourcing, in-process checks and final release testing on every batch. Purity, heavy-metal and microbiological results are documented, and the complete dossier - specification, certificate of analysis and batch records - is available to support buyer audits and regulatory dossiers. Original packaging is maintained through storage and shipping to protect the product, and shelf life is stated on the specification. Buyers qualify once and rely on the same documented quality for every subsequent order.
Applications:
It is used to fortify dairy products, margarine, edible oils and infant formula with vitamin A. Dietary supplements use it in softgels and oil-based capsules for vision and immune support. Clinical and enteral nutrition use it in oil emulsions, and cosmetic products use retinyl palmitate for skin renewal formulations.
Advantages
The palmitate ester combines the highest potency with proven stability, letting fortifiers achieve target vitamin A levels with the smallest possible addition - critical for cost and for keeping oil blends balanced. Its oil form integrates directly into fat-based systems without emulsification steps. Food-grade purity, a 24-month unopened shelf life and dependable supply make it the standard vitamin A choice for dairy and supplement manufacturers.
