Phytonadione Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Phytonadione manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Phytonadione production, including the cost of Phytonadione production, Phytonadione plant cost, Phytonadione production costs, and the overall Phytonadione manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Phytonadione production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Phytonadione, also known as Vitamin K1, finds various applications in industries. It is widely used as a treatment for people with blood clotting disorders, which include vitamin K deficiency, to prevent blood loss. Moreover, it also finds its application as a dietary supplement for people with Vitamin K deficiency. Additionally, it is also employed as an ingredient in various skincare and cosmetics products for its skin-lightening and moisturizing effects skin.

The market of Phytonadione is largely led by its application as a nutrient supplement for people with vitamin k deficiency or insufficient Vitamin K levels in the body, which remarkably boosts its demand in the nutrition and health & wellness industries. Moreover, its usage as a treatment to prevent bleeding in individuals with blood clotting problems further amplifies its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Additionally, its usage in various cosmetic formulations effectively promotes its demand in the skincare and cosmetics industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial Phytonadione procurement, such as the availability of raw materials (Menadione, etc.), cost and pricing, compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for Phytonadione Production

According to the Phytonadione manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Phytonadione production include Menadione-Phytol; Bacillus subtilis or Lactococcus lactis subsp. Cremoris or E. coli-Glycerol.

Manufacturing Process of Phytonadione

The extensive Phytonadione production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

1. Production via Microbial Fermentation: This method of production is regarded as the most sustainable method of producing Phytonadione (Vitamin K) rather than the natural extraction and chemical synthesis method. The process involves the use of wild-type and engineered microorganisms, which include Bacillus subtilis or Lactococcus lactis subsp. Cremoris or E. coli to produce phytonadione. In this method, these bacterial strains are cultured in an optimized medium composition, which produces phytonadione in fed-batch fermentation using glycerol.

Production via Condensation: This method of production involves the condensation reaction of menadione or 2-methyl-1,4- naphthohydroquinone with phytol (natural) to produce phytonadione as the product. The reaction takes place in the presence of oxalic acid or zinc dust in acetic acid, which results in the formation of phytonadione as the final product.

Phytonadione appears as an odorless, light yellow viscous liquid that does not dissolve in water. In nature, vitamin K is found as either menaquinone or phylloquinone. Phylloquinone or Phytonadione, often known as vitamin K1, is present in green leafy vegetables. The boiling point of the compound is 142.5°C, and its melting point is -20°C. The density of the compound is 0.964 g/cm3. The compound shows stability in its quinone form but gets decomposed in the presence of sunlight. Moreover, the compound is stable in air and moisture. The compound emits irritating fumes when it decomposes in the presence of heat.
