5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium (racemate)
Introduce:
5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium (5-MTHF-Ca) is a synthetic derivative of folic acid, the predominant, naturally occurring form of folate. It is synthesized by reduction of folic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid followed by methylation and diastereoselective crystallization (in water) of 5-MTHF as its calcium salt. The product contains variable amounts of water of crystallization.
Manufacturing Process:
Start Material: Folic Acid
Process: By reduction of folic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid followed by methylation and diastereoselective crystallization (in water) of 5-MTHF as its calcium salt.
Main Functions:
- Used as ingredient in nutrient supplement
- At the 65th JECFA (2005) the Committee had no safety concerns for the use of the substance in dry crystalline or microencapsulated form as an alternative to folic acid used in dietary supplements, foods for special dietary uses and other foods.
