- Vitamin B12 – Detection conditional to proper handling and storage. Highly sensitive to light, temperature and RH
- Beta-carotene, Folate, C and E – Sensitive to handling and oxidative stress
- 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
- For use in food based formulations and beverage use without heat exposure

Technical Details & Test Data
- Manufacturing Process
- Organic BM-Blend (B-complex-Mineral) is exclusively done for Multivitamin production only and blended with other organic independent vitamins and minerals. B-Complex is manufactured in two stages.
- First stage is hydrolysis of B vitamins from food complex and second stage involves mineral recovery using amla and coconut aminos.
- The recovered hydrolysates from the two stages are evaporated and vacuum dried to get BM-complex blend. It represents B vitamins and Minerals.
- Upon completion of BM-complex blend, other independent vitamins/minerals are blended as per the ratio using V-cone blender before it is sifted and packed.
