FOLIC ACID PH

FOLIC ACID PH is a crystalline, practically odorless powder that is very slightly soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol, acetone, ether and chloroform. It is readily soluble in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates. FOLIC ACID PH meets all requirements of the USP, JP and Ph. Eur. when tested according to these compendia. FOLIC ACID PH is stable to air, but somewhat sensitive to heat and light, especially to ultraviolet radiation. It is used in the food industry as a nutritional supplement to fortify foods with folic acid. FOLIC ACID PH helps support cell growth and development. It is essential for the production and maintenance of new cells in the body. FOLIC ACID PH plays an important role in DNA synthesis and cell division. It is also important for the production of red blood cells. FOLIC ACID PH is commonly added to foods like cereals, breads, pastas and other grain products to help increase folic acid intake.
