semitransparent yellow-green liquid or milky-white solid, with slight milk fragrance and sweetness.
using milk, cream and skim milk as raw materials, the milk fat is first removed by centrifugation, and then the casein is coagulated, precipitated and separated by acid or rennet. Or dried whey powder. By the enzyme coagulation method, low inorganic salt content, high lactose content, low acidity, called sweet whey. With the appropriate acid to make skim milk after the condensation, some of the lactose into lactic acid, higher acidity, called acid whey.
This product can be used as a tissue improver, molding aids, processing aids, nutritional supplements, emulsifiers and gelling agents, widely used in meat products, baked products, cold drinks, beverages, dairy products, in pasta products and flavoring.

Introduction | Orotic acid is a substance naturally produced by the human intestinal flora. This acid is also called vitamin B13 or pyrimidinic acid. It is not actually a vitamin, but it was added to the diet of laboratory animals in the 1960s to this category. Added to food can promote heart health and show some vitamin-like benefits. |
application field | orotic acid, also known as vitamin B13, is a nutrient. In the field of medicine, orotic acid and its derivatives have a good effect on icteric hepatitis, fatty liver, acute and chronic hepatitis. As a nutritional cosmetic matrix, it can be well absorbed by the skin, promote cell metabolism, and significantly inhibit skin aging. The application of orotic acid in food and life science fields. |
method of production | whey is produced as a by-product of the cheese industry, is a clear liquid or slurry that is separated from the curd from which cheese and casein are made. Whey content in milk reached 80% ~ 90%, containing 50% of raw milk nutrients. The sweet whey pH of the by-products obtained from the production of hard and semi-hard, soft cheese and rennet casein is between 5.9 and 6.4. The pH of the acid whey obtained from the production of casein by mineral acid precipitation is 4.3 to 4.6. orotic acid is obtained from diethyl oxalate by condensation with acetic acid and cyclization with urea to obtain 5-ethoxycarbonylmethylidenehydantoin, followed by ring extension and acid analysis. |
physiological functions and effects | The main function of orotic acid is to metabolize folic acid together with vitamin B12. Rich orotic acid helps to replace vitamin B12, although not completely replaced, but can reduce the damage of vitamin B12 deficiency. This acid is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and animal feeding supplements. It is also widely used in bodybuilding competitions around the world because it is able to increase the amount of adenosine triphosphate (the body's main source of energy) secreted. Orotic acid does this by acting as an initial form of pyrophosphate, which is then used for pyrimidine synthesis. The greater the amount of pyrophosphate in the body, the more adenosine triphosphate can be produced. |
orotic aciduria | orotic aciduria is a disorder of pyrimidine metabolism caused by deficiency of hereditary orotic phosphoribosyl transferase and orotic nucleoside phosphate decarboxylase, it is a rare autosomal recessive disease. No abnormality at birth, 2~6 months after birth began to gradually appear physical and mental development. With pale, blue sclera, strabismus, low muscle tension and splenomegaly, peripheral blood showed megaloblastic anemia, low white blood cells. Bone marrow examination: both erythrocytes and granulocytes exhibited changes of megaloblasts. The amount of orotic acid in urine increased up to 400 ~ 1400mg/24h (adult normal value is about 1~4mg/24h), and the urine showed obvious turbidity when it was slightly cold, with needle-like crystals inside; crystalline urine can sometimes cause obstruction of the urinary tract. Treatment with high-dose uracil (150mg/kg) daily can quickly relieve anemia and orotic urine; The decrease in urinary orotic acid content suggests that during the pyrimidine biosynthesis process, orotic acid synthesis is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism. both enzymes are simultaneously absent in hepatocytes, leukocytes and cultured fibroblasts of most patients. However, there have been reports of the lack of decarboxylase alone, and the clinical manifestations of such patients are not different from those who lack the above transferase and decarboxylase at the same time. Recent data suggest that orotate phosphoribosyl transferase and orotate nucleoside phosphate decarboxylase are simultaneously deficient because they share a common subunit and are under the control of a gene. At present, a variety of methods can be used to measure enzyme activity to assist in diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis. |
store | whey acid should be stored in a cool and dry place. |
Use | vitamins. Suitable for hyperuricemia, hypercholesterolemia, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis. It can also be used as anti-anemia and nutrition agent. High dose can induce fatty liver. Acute hepatitis, leukemia, malignant tumor patients should not use. orotic acid is a nutritional drug, also known as vitamin B13. The product was salified with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide at 90 ° C. To obtain aminominamide orotate (C9H10N6O5 · 2H2O,[2574-78-9]). Both drugs are hepatoprotective drugs. It is mainly used in daily cosmetics and medicine, nucleic acid, biological research, medicine for the preparation of yellow liver drugs, heart disease drugs, etc. Name: orotic acid Chinese synonyms: 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid; 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid; hot -4-formic acid; Uracil carboxylic acid; Uracil -6-carboxylic acid; Orotic acid; Vitamin B13; Anhydrous Orotic acid English name: Orotic acid English synonym: 1,2,3, 6-tetrahydroxy-2, 6-dioxo-4-pyrimidecarboxylicacid[qr];1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylicaci;2,6-Dihydrox |
