Zinc Methionate Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Zinc is one of the essential trace elements in the animal body and is a component of many metalloenzymes and insulin. It has a wide range of physiological and biochemical functions in the body and is called "life element".

Zinc is a component of many enzymes in the body of livestock and poultry, and it plays an important role in the normal growth and development of fur, bones, reproductive function, development of the taste system and normal function of the cardiovascular system of livestock and poultry, and it is a necessary element to maintain the growth of fur, skin health and tissue repair.

Zinc can also affect the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and participate in the metabolism of nucleic acids and proteins.

Deficiency of zinc, the animal occurs skin incomplete keratosis, loss of appetite, incomplete embryonic development, reproductive function decline, growth stagnation and epithelial cell metabolism abnormalities, and lead to livestock and poultry immune function is low, the susceptibility to disease increases, affecting the growth and development of livestock and poultry and feed utilisation.

Uses of Zinc Methionate.

Zinc methionine is a nutritional additive (zinc source), usually made into tablets, which can be widely used in food, feed, pharmaceutical and other industries.

‌1. Promote growth and development‌
As an organic chelated form of zinc, Zinc Methionine supplements zinc through efficient absorption, participates in protein synthesis, cell division and bone development, and is especially suitable for improving growth retardation in children or those with zinc deficiency‌.
Zinc plays a key role in DNA and RNA synthesis, maintaining normal metabolism and tissue repair‌.

‌2. Enhance immune function‌
Zinc enhances the body's defense against pathogens and reduces the risk of infection by regulating T cell function and antibody production‌.
Its antioxidant properties can reduce inflammatory responses and protect immune cells from oxidative damage‌

Preparation of Zinc Methionate.

A method for preparing zinc methionine, comprising the following steps:

(1) Salt-forming reaction step: 100 moles of methionine, 1500 moles of water, 55 moles of zinc oxide, and 2 moles of formic acid are put into a 100-litre reaction kettle with a heating device, electric stirring, and a thermometer in sequence, and the reaction is heated at 70-80°C simultaneously under stirring, and the reaction is reacted for 6 hours under stirring, and the heating is stopped and the salt-forming reaction is completed.

(2) Drying step: the granular product obtained by centrifugal separation, placed in the upper and lower permeable stainless steel drying sieve, and put into the drying oven for drying; after 24 hours, the product obtained is sieved to get the finished product of zinc methionine, which contains more than 15% of zinc methionine.

Product Method of Bulk Zinc Methionate Powder.

‌Wet (water) production process‌

‌1. Raw materials and reaction conditions‌

Methionine (L-methionine) and zinc salts (such as zinc sulfate, zinc oxide) are used as raw materials to generate methionine zinc complexes through chelation reaction in acidic or neutral aqueous solution‌.

The reaction needs to control the temperature (usually 60-80℃) and pH value (about 5-7) to optimize the chelation efficiency and avoid hydrolysis and precipitation of zinc ions‌.

‌2. Post-treatment process‌

After the reaction is completed, the unreacted impurities are separated by centrifugation or filtration, followed by spray drying or low-temperature vacuum drying, and finally white powdered methionine zinc‌ is obtained‌.

Some processes may add stabilizers (such as anti-caking agents) to improve product storage stability‌
