Specification NLT/g

Natural Iron from Curry leaves as proteinates and salts of organic acids (mg) 2%

Test method: AOAC 2011.14 (ICP-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
  • Can be used in beverage or food based formulations with fat soluble vitamins
