Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S
Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S is a microencapsulated cold-water-soluble powder delivering 500,000 International Units per gram of retinyl palmitate (CAS 79-81-2). The active sits inside discrete microcapsules built on a sucrose-and-starch matrix, with a particle size noticeably finer than a conventional beadlet.
The finer particle size and improved dispersion speed make the grade suitable for clear-beverage applications and reconstituted drinks where the visible particulates of a standard beadlet would be unacceptable.
We source bulk Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Zhejiang. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
There is a single nominal potency, 500,000 IU/g, in a free-flowing fine yellow powder typically in the 50 to 250 micron range.
The matrix is built around sucrose as the carrier and modified food starch as the wall former, paired with a tocopherol or BHT antioxidant package and a small load of emulsifier to drive fast aqueous dispersion.
Reconstitution in cold water gives a near-clear faintly yellow solution within seconds, with no visible particulates after gentle stirring. The grade is intentionally engineered to vanish into clear and lightly cloudy beverage matrices.
Applications
- Clear ready-to-drink beverages requiring vitamin A fortification
- Vitamin-enhanced waters and electrolyte drinks
- Effervescent vitamin tablets where dissolution clarity matters
- Reconstituted juice drinks and clear powdered drink mixes
- Premium dairy and plant-based milk fortification at low dose
- Infant formula bases where particulate-free reconstitution is required
- Pediatric oral nutritional supplements
- Powdered sports nutrition with rapid mixing claims
- Pharmaceutical syrups and reconstitutable powders
- Clinical and medical nutrition products for enteral feeding
- Premium liquid multivitamin formulations

How We Help Source Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Vitamin A Palmitate 500 Microcapsule CWS/S together with other ingredients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin E into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
The vitamin A active is retinyl palmitate, GRAS in the United States under 21 CFR 184.1930 and approved as a fortification source in the European Union under Annex I of Regulation 1925/2006.
Sucrose, modified starch, the food-grade emulsifier, and the tocopherol or BHT antioxidant package are all conventional food-grade ingredients with global approvals. USP and Ph. Eur. monographs apply to the vitamin A active content.
The microcapsule format does not change the regulatory status of any matrix component. It does, however, generally improve performance in the clarity and turbidity testing that beverage producers apply to clear formulations.
Halal and Kosher certifications exist, and fish-gelatin or animal-free matrix variants exist where the matrix uses non-animal binders.
Manufacturing Process
The microencapsulation process improves on the conventional beadlet route by using higher-shear emulsification and finer atomisation to produce much smaller core-shell particles.
Retinyl palmitate concentrate is pre-blended with the antioxidant package and emulsified into a hot aqueous solution of sucrose and modified starch with the help of a food-grade emulsifier. High-pressure homogenisation drives the oil droplet size down before atomisation.
The emulsion is sprayed through fine atomising nozzles into a chilled spray tower, where the droplets solidify into microcapsules typically half the size of a standard beadlet. The dried capsules are screened to a tight particle distribution and surface-treated with starch or silicon dioxide.
