ROCOAT RIBOFLAVIN 33 1/3% is a free-flowing powder that consists of riboflavin finely dispersed in a matrix of mono- and diglycerides of edible fatty acids, and of starch. The matrix masks the characteristic taste and odor of the riboflavin without affecting its biological availability. ROCOAT RIBOFLAVIN 33 1/3% is stable to air and humidity, but is somewhat sensitive to light and heat. It can be stored for 36 months if unopened and below 25°C. For the pharmaceutical industry, ROCOAT RIBOFLAVIN 33 1/3% is beneficial as it can be used in food preparations to fortify products with vitamin B2 (riboflavin). The masking of taste and odor allows for easy formulation into various product types without compromising bioavailability. Its stability also enables long shelf life of fortified products.
