Assay of vitamins Vitamin Specification NLT/g
Natural Vitamin B9(Folate) as Total Food Folate from Organic Spinach 70000 IU/g Test method: AOAC 2013.13, LC-MS/MS
- Being vitamins and minerals standardized from natural sources, the specification of actives are ‘Not Less than (NLT)’ and the analytical results may be variable above NLT even to an extent of 100% or more.
- Analytical variance of ≥ 10% of the actives lower than NLT claim shall be considered as a trigger for rejection handling
- Functional Properties
- Capsule grade
- Granulation and binding agents for tableting require careful handling for temperature exposure, pressure and relative humidity
- Beverage or use in food based formulations
- Spinach folate has considerable amount of 5-MTHF form sensitive to handling and oxidation stress

Technical Details & Test Data
- Manufacturing Process
Early harvested spinach leaves are treated and freeze dried for use as dried raw material after CQL screening. Total food folate from the spinach leaves are standardized and concentrated in three stages of hydrolytic liquefaction of dry matter. First stage involves enzymatic standardization, second stage involves orange peel assisted hydrolytic liquefaction and finally conjugate hydrolytic intervention with potato juice. The liquefacts at every stage is collected, blended, evaporated and dried to get standardized food folate.
