Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Trimagnesium Citrate meets the requirements of the US Pharmacopeia (USP) and/or the European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) always in their latest versions.Trimagnesium Citrates are produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity magnesium source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. The two commonly available forms are trimagnesium citrate anhydrous and trimagnesium citrate nonahydrate. In some countries such as USA, trimagnesium citrate is simply denominated magnesium citrate. Trimagnesium citrate is mainly used as mineral source in food supplements, foods for particular nutritional purposes, and pharmaceutical preparations. Comparable to other magnesium salts, it shows a laxative effect at higher dosage levels. An agglomerated trimagnesium citrate anhydrous is available for direct compression of tablets. Being an excellent desiccant, it is commonly used to stabilize dry blends and to protect water sensitive ingredients. Magnesium citrates are organic mineral sources and are preferred in many applications to inorganic sources because of their superior bioavailability and physiological compatibility. Trimagnesium citrate anhydrous has the highest magnesium content (16%) among the organic magnesium sources commonly used, the magnesium content of the nonahydrate is 12%. Trimagnesium citrate is supplied as a white to almost white powder. It is practically odorless, soluble in water, freely soluble in diluted acid and practically insoluble in ethanol (96%). generally, hydrated forms of trimagnesium citrates are less soluble than the anhydrous type.granulation types are available as Powder and TMC GN.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Zinc Citrate is specified according to the latest edition of the USP.Zinc citrate is available as dihydrate and trihydrate and is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity zinc source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. Zinc citrate is mainly used in dental care products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes and chewing gums due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to reduce or inhibit the formation of dental plaque and tartar. In pharmaceuticals, zinc citrate fights common colds. Zinc is increasingly used in food supplements, functional foods and beverages. As an organic mineral source it is preferred in many applications over inorganic sources because of its superior bioavailability, physiological compatibility and nearly neutral taste compared to other zinc salts. Among the organic zinc salts zinc citrate has one of the highest zinc content (31%). Zinc citrate is supplied as a white to almost white powder. It is practically odorless, slightly soluble in water, soluble in diluted acid and practically insoluble in ethanol (96%). Zinc citrate has an inverse solubility.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG GLUCONO-DELTA-LACTONE is supplied in accordance with the latest requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and of Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012.GdL is available as food grade and Personal Care grade.For food grade we offer a granular and powder material and for Personal Care grade we offer a granular material.Glucono-1,5-Lactone or GdL is a neutral cyclic ester of gluconic acid, produced with the acid by fermentation of glucose. It is separated from the acid by crystallization. GdL is a fine, white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. It is practically odorless and has a slightly sweet taste. Non toxic, it is completely metabolized in the body like a carbohydrate. When added into an aqueous solution, GdL rapidly dissolves, and subsequently slowly hydrolyses to gluconic acid, thus producing a gentle acidification in the same way as lactic acid-producing bacteria. In solution both gluconic acid and GdL are always in balance. The equivalent point and the rate of transformation are related to concentration, temperature and pH-value. Two properties set GdL apart from other common acids and are the base of its application range:.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Citric Acid Anhydrous is supplied in accordance with the current requirements of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur), the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012.Citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and pH-control agent in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and technical applications. Citric acid anhydrous occurs as colorless crystals or as white, crystalline powder with a strongly acidic taste. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %) and sparingly soluble in ether. Citric acid anhydrous is non-toxic and has a low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures.Citric acid anhydrous is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.

CITROFOL® BI (Tributyl citrate TBC) is a natural based universal floor-polish plasticiser for all coating-compatible floorings for such PVC, Lino, natural rubber and other special synthetic materials, as well as hard floors. CITROFOL® BI is registered as bio-preferred by the USDA.

Xanthan Gum TN is a technical grade 80 mesh type. It has excellent thickening and stabilizing properties for a variety of cleaner and detergent applications.

Gluconic acid is a mild organic acid, neither caustic nor corrosive and with an excellent sequestering power. Non-toxic and readily biodegradable (98 % after 2 days), it occurs naturally in plants, fruits and other foodstuffs such as wine (up to 0.25 %) and honey (up to 1 %). Gluconic acid is prepared by fermentation of glucose, whereby the physiological d-form is produced.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Xanthan Gum FNCS-PC is a high molecular weight polysaccharide which is produced by fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris.The main functional property of Xanthan gum is the ability to control the rheology of water-based systems. Xanthan Gum solutions are highly pseudoplastic, their viscosity is reduced instantly when high shear rates are applied. This property allows easy pumping and spraying. In contrast a high viscosity at lower shear rates gives excellent ability to stabilize emulsions, suspensions and foams. Xanthan Gum PC is ECOCERT and COSMOS approved.

L(+)-Lactic Acid Technical Grade is a commercial production of lactic acid and is typically done by fermentation. There are two optical forms of lactic acid existing, whereby Jungbunzlauer has chosen to produce pure L(+)-lactic acid by traditional fermentation of natural carbohydrates. This product is an acidity regulator with descaling and antibacterial properties. It can be used in a wide range of industrial, institutional and home care products. This special technical grade of lactic acid satisfies customers' needs in cleaning and detergent formulations. It is available as 80% and 88% aqueous solution and is approved as natural ingredient for detergents by ECOCERT.
