Project Description
Product Description
The appearance of betaine nitrate is white to off-white crystals, and the odor is tasteless or faint characteristic odor. Store in the original sealed container, in a cool and dry place under direct sunlight. The storage temperature is below 40°C. Betaine is widely present in animals and plants. Among plants, Lycium barbarum and legumes contain betaine. The molasses of beet is the main source of betaine. Among animals, molluscs such as octopus, cuttlefish, and shrimp, as well as the liver, spleen and amniotic fluid of vertebrates (including humans) contain betaine.

- Enhance the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs.
Application
- Feed Additives
In the animal nutrition industry, Betaine Nitrate is used as a feed additive to support growth performance and feed efficiency in poultry, swine, and aquaculture. Its primary function as a methyl donor helps reduce the energy expenditure required for metabolic maintenance, allowing more energy to be directed toward growth and production. It is commonly incorporated into premixes, feed pellets, and water-soluble formulations. Recommended usage levels vary by species and production stage, and should be determined according to nutritional guidelines.
- Food Additives
In the food industry, Betaine Nitrate serves as a nutritional supplement and methyl donor in functional foods and beverages. It supports various metabolic pathways and is often included in powder blends and fortified products to enhance nutritional profiles. Its water-solubility and stability make it suitable for both dry and liquid applications. Typical usage levels range from 0.5% to 2.0% of the formulation, depending on the target product concept.
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates
In the pharmaceutical sector, Betaine Nitrate is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and the production of pharmaceutical compounds. Its high purity (≥ 99.0%) and controlled impurity profile make it suitable for sensitive synthesis processes. As a methyl donor, it plays a key role in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients, contributing to the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions.
- Formulation Considerations
Across all applications, Betaine Nitrate is stable under standard processing conditions and can be incorporated directly into dry blends or dissolved in water for liquid systems. The recommended usage levels provided are starting points; we recommend confirming the final concentration and formulation through small-scale trials for each specific application. All applications should be validated according to the relevant regulations of the target market.
