What is all-trans-Retinol CAS 68-26-8？

All trans Retinol is a color fading flake crystal with a melting point of 62-64 ℃ and a boiling point of 120-125 ℃ (0.667Pa). Easy to dissolve in oil or organic solvents, insoluble in water. Good thermal stability, stable under alkaline conditions, unstable under acidic conditions. When encountering antimony trichloride, it exhibits a characteristic blue reaction and is easily damaged by ultraviolet radiation and oxygen in the air. It can be protected when coexisting with vitamin C.

Application

All trans Retinol vitamin A is a component of the photosensitive substances in visual cells, which can ensure the integrity and health of epithelial tissue structure and promote the development and growth of the body. When lacking, it can hinder growth and development, decline reproductive function, and easily lead to “night blindness”. All trans Retinol is used in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules as a vitamin based feed additive in the feed industry
