Vitamin A Palmitate 500 SD CWS/S
Vitamin A Palmitate 500 SD CWS/S is a spray-dried cold-water-soluble powder standardised to 500,000 International Units per gram of retinyl palmitate (CAS 79-81-2). The matrix uses sucrose as the primary carrier, supported by modified starch and a tocopherol antioxidant package by default.
The sucrose carrier (the S in CWS/S) gives a denser, smoother particle than the alginate equivalent and dominates the cost-sensitive bulk fortification market for flour, sugar, dairy, and beverage premixes.
We source bulk Vitamin A Palmitate 500 SD 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
This grade holds one nominal potency, 500,000 IU/g, as a free-flowing yellow to amber powder typically 50 to 500 microns with the characteristic irregular shape of a spray-dried product.
The matrix construction places sucrose at the centre as the carrier sugar, with modified food starch acting as the wall former. A tocopherol antioxidant package is the default, with BHT variants available for cost-driven applications.
Reconstitution in cold water gives a uniform cloudy yellow dispersion within seconds. The dense sucrose-rich particles flow well and survive dry-blending operations with little breakage.
Applications
- Wheat flour and maize flour mandatory fortification programs
- Sugar fortification programs in Central America and parts of Africa
- Powdered drink mixes and instant beverage premixes
- Reconstituted dairy and plant-based milk fortification
- Infant formula bases and follow-on milk powders
- Pediatric drink mixes and oral nutritional supplements
- Multivitamin tablets, both chewable and swallow formats
- Effervescent multivitamin tablets
- Sports nutrition powders and meal replacement shakes
- Bakery premixes, granola bar premixes, and cereal fortification
- Animal feed multivitamin premixes

How We Help Source Vitamin A Palmitate 500 SD 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 SD 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 SD 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 food starch, and the antioxidant package are all conventional food-grade ingredients with global approvals. USP and Ph. Eur. monographs apply to the vitamin A active content.
The matrix is suitable for Halal, Kosher, and vegetarian declarations. Non-GMO sucrose and starch can be sourced where required by the end market.
The grade meets the Codex Alimentarius reference specifications for vitamin A used in flour, sugar, and dairy fortification programs.
Manufacturing Process
Retinyl palmitate concentrate is pre-blended with the tocopherol antioxidant package, then emulsified into a hot aqueous solution of sucrose and modified food starch. The emulsion is fed into a co-current spray dryer where atomised droplets meet a hot inlet air stream.
Rapid evaporation drives the droplets through a brief plastic phase before they solidify into discrete particles. The dried powder is collected in a cyclone and bag filter system, screened to remove fines and oversize, and surface-treated with starch or silicon dioxide to prevent caking.
The sucrose-rich matrix is the standard of the global vitamin A fortification market. It is cheap, well understood, and compatible with virtually every dry-blending operation in food manufacturing.
