Algry improves on choline offering
chloride conditioned with Aerosil 200 pharma grade to avoid lumping
and provide free circulation in manufacturing equipment.
Spanish maker of choline salts Algry Quimica has launched a choline chloride conditioned with Aerosil 200 pharma grade to avoid lumping and provide free circulation in manufacturing equipment.
The ingredient is designed for use in infant formula, drinks and nutritional supplements.
"Choline Bulk Salts have been used in Europe for many years to fortify infant milks, and in recent years uses in nutraceuticals for adults as tablets, capsules and drinks have significantly increased, specially in the US."
"The use of raw choline chloride has been limited in some fields due to its hygroscopicity, but this new conditioning system opens the possibility of new uses and applications," said Guillermo Rodriguez, sales manager at Algry Quimica.
"All our products are pharmaceutical grade, and this new launch will continue the trend we started several years ago, offering to the nutraceutical market pharma grade products (compliant to different US and European pharmacopeias), as customers become more quality focused than ever," he continued.
The company also claims that Free Flowing Raw Choline Chloride enables customers to get the highest amount of pure choline per dose, compared to other encapsulated choline products, which reduce the available content of pure choline.
In September Algry Quimica announced that it would see end of year net sales increase by around 70 per cent on 2001 figures, as demand for human choline salts continues to grow.
