Manganese Gluconate

Manganese gluconate is the manganese(II) salt of gluconic acid, the organic acid obtained by oxidation of glucose. Nustras supplies it as a pale-pink to off-white powder used as a manganese source in the supplement, food-fortification and nutrition sectors. Manganese is an essential trace element and a cofactor for a number of enzymes.

The salt is formulated into trace-mineral and multi-mineral supplements in tablet and capsule form, into vitamin and mineral premixes, and into animal-feed premixes where a water-soluble organic manganese source is specified.

The material is a pale-pink to off-white powder (CAS 6485-39-8, molecular formula C12H22MnO14, molecular weight 445.23). Manganese content is standardised to specification and determined by titration or ICP, with identity confirmed by the compendial tests for manganese and gluconate; loss on drying is standardised to specification, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies manganese gluconate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Manganese gluconate is a permitted mineral source in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the elemental-manganese contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
