VITAMIN B1 - THIAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE

Product Overview

Water-Soluble Vitamin B1 | BP/USP/EP/FCC11 | Fortification & Supplement | Food Grade

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride) is a food-grade, water-soluble vitamin supplied as a white or almost-white crystalline powder at 98.5–101.0% assay, meeting BP2022, USP43, EP10.0, and FCC11 standards. It is one of the essential B-group vitamins.

Thiamine plays a central role in energy metabolism — it is a required cofactor in converting carbohydrates into usable energy — and in the normal functioning of the nervous system and heart. Because it is one of the vitamins used in mandatory and voluntary food-fortification programs (for example in bread-making flour) as well as across the supplement category, it is a consistently in-demand fortification ingredient. Its high water solubility makes it straightforward to distribute evenly through both dry blends and liquid systems.

How Food & Beverage Manufacturers Use This Ingredient

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCl) is used by manufacturers as a fortification vitamin and supplement active. Typical applications include:

• Flour & Bread Fortification Manufacturing: Added to bread-making flour and grain products under fortification programs, where thiamine is a standard added nutrient — its water solubility supports even distribution through the flour and dough.
• Multivitamin & B-Complex Manufacturing: An essential component of B-complex, multivitamin, and daily-wellness formulations in tablet, capsule, and powder form.
• Energy & Metabolism Product Manufacturing: Formulated into energy and metabolism products for its role in carbohydrate-to-energy conversion.
• Fortified Beverage Manufacturing: Dissolved into functional drinks, energy drinks, and drink powders as a water-soluble B-vitamin.
• Infant & Clinical Nutrition Manufacturing: A regulated B1 source in infant formula, medical foods, and oral nutritional supplements.
