Product Definition and Manufacturing Process
Definition
Synthetic inositol is an industrially produced product that converts simple carbon sources (such as glucose, glycerol, and maltodextrin) into inositol in a single step through chemical or biocatalytic means, without the use of phytic acid. Unlike the traditional "phytic acid hydrolysis-inositol" process, the synthetic method utilizes readily available raw materials, results in low pollution, and offers high stereoselectivity.
Mainstream Manufacturing Process
The mainstream process utilizes food-grade glucose or glycerol as the sole carbon source, employing a three-step enzymatic cascade reaction: 1. Glucose $\rightarrow$ Glucose-6-phosphate 2. Glucose-6-phosphate $\rightarrow$ Inositol-1-phosphate 3. Inositol-1-phosphate $\rightarrow$ Inositol
Process Characteristics:
- Requirements: The entire process requires no high-pressure acid hydrolysis.
- Byproducts: The only byproduct generated is inorganic phosphorus.
- Efficiency: Glucose consumption is approximately 3.2 t/t inositol.
Cost Structure Breakdown
- Raw Materials (Glucose): 45-50%
- Enzyme Preparations (e.g., inositol-1-phosphate synthase): 15-20%
- Fermentation Energy Consumption and Membrane Separation: 15%
- Manual, Environmental, and GMP Refining Costs: 15-20%
