What is Betaine Hydrochloride?5

The introduction for Betaine Hydrochloride

Betaine hydrochloride, also known as betaine hydrochloride, is a general term for a class of organic compounds. It is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder with a sour taste and hygroscopicity. It is easily soluble in water and ethanol, but difficult to dissolve in ether and chloroform. It reacts with alkali. Betaine hydrochloride is a highly efficient, high-quality, economical, and widely used nutritional additive for animal husbandry, poultry, and aquaculture to induce feeding and promote growth.

 

Product Name: Betaine Hydrochloride (Betaine HCl)

Alias: Betaine Hydrochloride

English name: (Carboxymethyl) trimethylammonium hydrochloride

Chemical Property

CAS: 590-46-5

Molecular formula: C5H11NO2.HCl

Betaine hydrochloride is an efficient, high-quality, and economical nutritional additive that promotes food intake and growth. It is widely used in livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and various pet animal feed, and its function is the same as betaine.

 

The main uses are as follows:

  1. Provide methyl as a methyl donor. An efficient methyl donor that can partially replace methionine and choline chloride, reducing feed costs. Its methyl supply efficiency is 1.8 times that of 50% choline chloride and 2.6 times that of D/L-methionine.
  2. Participate in fat metabolism and promote protein synthesis. Adding betaine hydrochloride to pig feed can increase eye muscle area, reduce average backfat thickness, improve lean meat percentage and carcass quality. Adding it to chicken feed can improve the carcass quality and chest muscle mass of broiler chickens, reduce abdominal muscle deposition, and lower feed to meat ratio.
  3. Has food attractant activity. Betaine hydrochloride is a quaternary ammonium alkaloid that can stimulate the sense of smell and taste in animals, promote feeding, improve the palatability and utilization of feed, increase feed intake and daily weight gain. It is the main attractant component of feed. It has a strong attraction to the sense of smell of fish.
  4. Buffer substance for osmotic pressure fluctuations. When osmotic pressure changes dramatically, betaine hydrochloride can effectively prevent cell water loss, improve the function of NA/K pump, enhance the tolerance of objects to water shortage, high temperature, high salt and high osmotic environment, stabilize enzyme activity and the function of biomolecules, thereby regulating the ion balance of animal intestinal water, maintaining intestinal function, and slowing down the occurrence of diarrhea. Meanwhile, betaine hydrochloride can also improve the survival rate of seedlings, especially young shrimp and fish fry.
  5. It has a synergistic effect with anti coccidiosis drugs to improve therapeutic efficacy. The combination of anti coccidiosis drugs and betaine hydrochloride can buffer changes in ion balance, thereby improving nutrient absorption and promoting poultry growth.
  6. Protect vitamins. Betaine hydrochloride does not destroy vitamins in feed, and has a certain protective effect on the stability of VA and VB in premix and concentrate feed, improving the effectiveness of use.
  7. Pharmaceutical industry raw materials for preventing liver disease.
  8. It can be used for gastric acid deficiency, atherosclerosis and liver diseases. Can increase fat metabolism and inhibit fat deposition in the liver.
  9. It is an important raw material for the veterinary drug Tylosin.

The differences between Betaine and Betaine Hcl are: different properties, different decomposition melting points, and different uses.

Different properties:

1. Betaine: It is a type of alkaloid.

2. Betaine Hcl: a general term for a class of organic compounds, also known as Betaine Hcl.

Different melting points for decomposition:

1. Betaine: Melting point 293 ℃ decomposition

2. Betaine Hcl: Melting point 227-228 ℃ decomposition

Different uses:

1. Betaine: anti-tumor, blood pressure lowering, anti peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal dysfunction, treating liver diseases. As a feed additive, it has the function of providing methyl donors, which can save some methionine. It has the function of regulating osmotic pressure in the body, relieving stress, promoting fat metabolism and protein synthesis, improving lean meat percentage, and enhancing the efficacy of anti coccidiosis drugs. Used as a attractant in aquatic animal feed.

2. Betaine Hcl: It is an efficient, high-quality, and economical nutrient additive that promotes feeding and growth. It is widely used in livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and various pet animal feed.
