About The Vitamin B1 Hcl

Overview

Chemical name: Also known as thiamine hydrochloride, it is a white crystal or crystalline powder with a weak special odor, bitter taste, and easy to absorb moisture in the air.

Molecular formula:.

Molecular weight: 337.27.

CAS registration number: 67-03-8.

Physical and chemical properties

Solubility: easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is acidic, easily decomposed and deteriorated under alkaline conditions, and its stability will also decrease when heated.

Stability: It is relatively stable in solid state, but it will gradually lose its activity under adverse conditions such as humidity, high temperature, and alkaline environment, so it usually needs to be stored in a dry, cool, and dark place.

Source and preparation

Natural source: It is widely present in some natural foods, such as cereals, beans, nuts, yeast, animal liver, etc., but the content is relatively limited and the extraction process is relatively complicated.

Chemical synthesis: Common chemical synthesis methods, such as acrylonitrile, are used as starting materials. After multiple chemical reactions, including addition, cyclization, substitution and other reaction steps, vitamin B1 hydrochloride is finally obtained.

Physiological function

Participate in energy metabolism: It plays a key role in the carbohydrate metabolism process and can help convert carbohydrates in food into energy forms that can be used by the body, such as helping pyruvate decarboxylation to acetyl coenzyme A, and enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle to further generate energy.

Maintain the normal function of the nervous system: It is indispensable for maintaining the normal structure and function of nervous tissue, and helps the conduction of nerve impulses. When it is deficient, it may cause neuritis, paresthesia, muscle weakness, limb pain and other symptoms. Common beriberi is related to vitamin B1 deficiency.

Promote gastrointestinal motility: It can enhance gastrointestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, help improve digestive function, prevent and relieve problems such as indigestion and loss of appetite.

Application field

Medical field: It is a commonly used drug for the treatment of vitamin B1 deficiency (such as beriberi, neuritis, Wernicke’s encephalopathy, etc.), which can be made into tablets, injections and other dosage forms for clinical use. For example, for some patients with vitamin B1 deficiency caused by long-term alcoholism and malnutrition, vitamin B1 hydrochloride can be supplemented orally or by injection to improve symptoms.

Food industry: often added to various foods as a nutritional enhancer, such as staple foods such as flour and rice, as well as infant formula foods, functional beverages, etc., to meet the body’s daily needs for vitamin B1 and prevent the occurrence of deficiency.

Feed industry: added to the feed of livestock, poultry, aquatic products and other animals, it helps the healthy growth of animals, improves growth rate, reproductive capacity and disease resistance, and ensures the production performance of farmed animals.

Precautions

Dosage: Under normal circumstances, the human body can generally meet basic needs through a reasonable diet, but for special groups (such as pregnant women, the elderly, vegetarians, etc.) or those with related diseases who need additional supplements, they should be used according to the doctor’s advice or the dosage specified in the product instructions. Excessive intake may cause some adverse reactions, such as headaches, irritability, arrhythmias, etc.

Incompatibility: In medical applications, it is important to note that there are incompatibility issues with some alkaline drugs and Chinese medicines containing tannins. Mixing may cause chemical reactions, affect the efficacy of the drugs, or even produce harmful substances.

Storage requirements: Because it is sensitive to environmental factors, whether it is a drug, food additive, or feed additive, it must be stored in a dry, cool, and light-proof environment in strict accordance with the requirements to ensure that its quality and activity are not affected.
