Specification NLT/g

Natural Zinc from mushrooms and holy basil as proteinates and salts of organic acids 5 %

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
  • Manufactured for Capsule grade.
  • For tablet grade, granulation and binding agents for tableting require careful handling for temperature exposure, pressure and relative humidity.
  • It can be used in food preparations as a blend and also as beverage grade.
  • Product is relatively hygroscopic

Manufacturing Process

Natural product based processing:

LC Ingredients Organic Plant Based Zinc - Manufacturing Process

Mushroom as recognized Zinc mobilizer are harvested, cleaned and freeze dried for standardization of Zinc. Dried mushrooms are papain hydrolysed with coconut milk as a fat stabilizer for lipid Zinc. It also conditions the zinc proteinates and organic acid salt forms during microbial solubilization along with zinc remains that comes from shiitake (Lentinula) based B12 by-product. After solubilization the liquefact is filtered and vacuum dried for zinc food complex.

  • Processing factor : About 55:1 on dry basis
