Category Management Studies

Bacteria make pantothenic acid from the amino acids’ aspartate and a precursor to valine. The amino acid aspartate is transformed into the amino acid -alanine. The amino group of valines is replaced by a keto-moiety to produce -ketoisovalerate, which subsequently makes -ketopantoate when a methyl group is transferred, and finally D-pantoate (also known as pantoic acid) after reduction. Later, the -alanine and pantoic acid are combined to generate pantothenic acid. For men and women aged 19 and above, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 5 mg per day. The dose increases to 6 mg and 7 mg daily during pregnancy and lactation, respectively.

The Animal Feed Application Segment, further Raising the Procurement of D Calcium Pantothenate (Vit B5)
