Thiamine mononitrate

Thiamine mononitrate (CAS 532-43-4), also known as Vitamin B1 mononitrate, is the stable nitrate salt form of thiamine used as a nutritional supplement and fortification ingredient across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing.

Unlike thiamine hydrochloride, its lower hygroscopicity makes it the preferred choice for dry-blend and solid-dose applications where moisture uptake during processing or storage is a practical concern.

In food manufacturing, thiamine mononitrate is used to fortify flour, breakfast cereals, pasta, and infant formula to meet regulatory nutrient enrichment requirements for various global markets.

Pharmaceutical producers incorporate it into B-complex tablets, multivitamin capsules, and oral nutritional supplements as the active B1 source. It provides excellent stability in these finished dosage forms.

In premix production, it is blended into vitamin and mineral concentrates destined for animal feed and functional food applications. This ensures a consistent distribution of nutrients throughout the final product.

Personal care formulators use it in select scalp and hair care products targeting nutrient-delivery claims. Thiamine mononitrate is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder for easy integration.

It is available in USP, BP, and Ph. Eur. grades for pharmaceutical applications, and FCC grade for food and dietary supplement use. These standards ensure high purity and safety.

Packaging typically ranges from kilogram quantities up to bulk sacks suited for industrial-scale fortification operations. This flexibility supports both small-batch production and large-scale manufacturing needs.
