| Vitamin B1 potency |
Determines the active contribution and cost per unit of Vitamin B1 activity. |
Minimum assay, typical assay, test method, and COA confirmation. |
| Salt form |
Confirms that the material is Thiamine Mononitrate rather than another thiamine source. |
Product identity, CAS number, molecular formula, and supplier declaration. |
| Physical form |
Affects dosing, blending, flowability, dust level, and segregation risk in premixes. |
Powder or granular form, bulk density, particle size range, and appearance. |
| Particle size |
Influences blend uniformity and compatibility with other premix ingredients. |
Sieve analysis, particle size distribution, and dust-control data when available. |
| Loss on drying or moisture |
High moisture can affect flowability, caking, shelf-life, and premix stability. |
Maximum moisture limit and recommended storage conditions. |
| Purity profile |
Supports product identity, quality approval, and customer audits. |
Assay method, impurity limits, identification test, and chromatographic data when required. |
| Carrier or anti-caking system |
Some commercial vitamin products may include processing aids, carriers, or anti-caking agents. |
Carrier declaration, anti-caking declaration, allergen statement, GMO statement, and feed-grade status. |
| Heavy metals |
Important for feed safety, import approval, and customer specifications. |
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and any buyer-specific heavy metal limits. |
| Microbiological quality |
Required by many buyers, especially for sensitive species or export markets. |
Total plate count, yeast and mold, Salmonella, E. coli, and other requested parameters. |
| Stability |
Vitamin loss can occur during storage, premix holding, pelleting, or exposure to incompatible ingredients. |
Shelf-life, recommended storage, processing stability data, and overage recommendations when available. |
| Packaging |
Impacts moisture protection, warehouse handling, pallet planning, and export logistics. |
Bag size, carton or drum option, liner type, pallet configuration, and container loading quantity. |
| Regulatory positioning |
Feed additive registration and permitted use may differ by destination market. |
Feed-grade declaration, origin documents, registration support, and destination-market compliance documents. |
