Product Profile and Technical Specifications

Definition and Origin

Natural inositol refers to inositol (primarily myo-inositol) derived from animal and plant tissues or their byproducts through enzymatic hydrolysis extraction and purification, distinguishing it from "synthetic inositol."

Production Process and Raw Materials

• Core Source: The primary source is phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate) found in plants, which can constitute 4-6% of materials such as rice bran, corn soaking water, and wheat bran.
• Raw Material Composition: Production utilizes crude phytic acid (containing 40%–50% inositol hexaphosphate) extracted from defatted rice bran or corn soaking water.
• Extraction Methodologies:
• Thermal/Chemical: Hot water hydrolysis at 190–230 °C and 20–28 kg cm⁻².
• Biological: Targeted enzymatic hydrolysis.
• Refinement Steps: Following hydrolysis, the process involves ion exchange decolorization, desalting, concentration, and crystallization to achieve the final product.

Cost Structure

• Phytic Acid/Soaking Water: 35%–40%
• Labor, Environmental Protection, and Packaging: 25%
• Steam and Electricity Consumption: 20%
• Auxiliary Materials (Acids, Alkalis, Resins, etc.): 15%

Chemical and Physical Properties

• Appearance: White crystalline powder
• Taste: Slightly sweet
• Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₂O₆
• Melting Point: 225 °C
• Water Solubility: 143 g L⁻¹ (at 19 °C)
• Biological Classification: A natural water-soluble carbohydrate; previously classified as vitamin B8, though not an essential vitamin as it can be synthesized from glucose in the human kidneys, liver, and brain.
