Niacin Production Cost Reports

The Niacin production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Niacin production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Niacin including manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Niacin or nicotinic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin, which is also known as vitamin B3. It can be obtained as a supplement, added to food, and is present in various food products. Both plants and animals produce it from the amino acid tryptophan. The two most prevalent forms of niacin that are present in meals and supplements are nicotinic acid and nicotinamide.

Any extra niacin that the body doesn't need is excreted in the pee because it is water-soluble. Over 400 enzymes in the body use niacin as a coenzyme for different metabolic processes. It contributes to the metabolism of nutrients into energy, the production of lipids and cholesterol, the synthesis and maintenance of DNA, and antioxidant qualities.

It is a white crystal or crystalline powder and odorless. It has a slightly sour taste. The melting point ranges between 234-237. It is highly soluble in hot water, hot ethanol, alkaline water, propylene glycol, and chloroform. The density of niacin is 1.47 g/cm³ and its chemical formula is CHNO. The molecular weight of niacin is 123.1094 g/mol.

In the food and beverage industry, niacin is becoming recognised as a superior antioxidant. Its main objective is to reduce dangerous free radical levels, which can harm DNA and cells and increase the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. This strategy is gaining popularity among consumers.

It also assists in the synthesis of energy in three stages: it converts carbohydrates into glucose; it enables fats to be transformed into lipids; and, finally, it interacts with dietary proteins to create vital brain chemicals like serotonin, which help control hunger and regulate mood. The intake of it also has the benefit of boosting industry sales.
