Vitamin D3 for Oil-Based Food Formulations
Question
I need to add food-grade Vitamin D3 to an oil-based food product. I am considering using Cholecalciferol Vitamin D3 (Powder, 100,000 IU/g).
- Does this powder form dissolve in oil?
- If not, could you recommend an alternative Vitamin D3 product that is suitable for oil-based food formulations?
- I need to order small quantities (in grams) for testing first.
Answer
Vitamin D3 for Oil-Based Food Formulations
Regarding your question about using Cholecalciferol Vitamin D3 (Powder, 100,000 IU/g) in an oil base, while Vitamin D3 itself is fat-soluble, the powder form is generally not designed to dissolve easily in oil. It is typically used in powder blends, capsules, or solid food applications.
For adding Vitamin D3 to an oil-based food product, we recommend using the Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) (Oil, 1 MIU/g). This product is Vitamin D3 already dissolved in corn oil, making it ideal for easy incorporation into oil-based formulations.
Both products are food grade and available in small quantities suitable for testing.
