Jungbunzlauer launches new mineral salts

Jungbunzlauer has added two new mineral salts, zinc gluconate and monomagnesium citrate, to its range of special salts.

Zinc gluconate derives from the neutralisation of gluconic acid with a high purity zinc source.

Monomagnesium citrate is a partly neutralised magnesium salt of citric acid.

Zinc gluconate is an important organic zinc source in food supplements, fortified foods and beverages. It shows excellent solubility properties, a fast dissolution speed and a nearly neutral taste. As an organic mineral salt it is well absorbed by the body and offers a wide range of health benefits, such as contributing to the normal function of the immune system as well as the maintenance of normal bones, hair and skin.

Monomagnesium citrate is a monobasic magnesium salt of citric acid with a molar ratio of 1:1. It is used as mineral source in functional food, beverages, and food supplements. Due to its pleasant sour taste and high solubility, it is the magnesium salt of choice for mineral fortified beverage powders. As a partly neutralised salt it can be used as mild acidifier and acts as a magnesium source at the same time. With this, it contributes therefore to a shorter ingredient list and cleaner label.

These two new mineral salts extend Jungbunzlauer´s range of high-purity organic mineral sources. Minerals are essential to the human body as they play important roles in various physiological processes. Jungbunzlauer’s range of mineral salts serve as an ideal mineral source in food, beverages and dietary supplements.
