The practical application of inositol

Inositol is a widely used fine chemical product, which has high economic value. In medicine, it is currently used for the treatment of the liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, diabetes, angiosclerosis, high cholesterol and other diseases, also for preparing anti-cancer drugs and synthetic Hexanicit, beniol and other drugs; in fermentation and food industry, it is used for cultivating a variety of bacteria and promoting the yeast growth, etc. Since the 1990s, it was discovered that inositol and sarcoma alkali allows fat turn into heat energy, so lipid-lowering foods and nutritional supplements which containing inositol began sweeping the United States and Europe.

Aquaculture, especially shrimp farming, the potential demand for inositol has been improving. In Europe, America, Japan and other Asian countries, inositol is widely used in feed, only the part of animal used inositol is accounted for more than 100 tons per year. China is the world-famous shrimp Kingdom, its size and output occupys the first place in the world, when shrimp farming industry glory again, inositol is one of the pharmaceutical products of required development for fishing.

Practice has proved that adding inositol in the feed can promote the growth of livestock and prevent death, the added amount is 0.2% to 0.5%. Inositol is the indispensable low molecular weight organics for humans and animals maintaining normal physiological functions. The feed of fish and other aquatic animals, rare birds, fur animals and ornamental cats, dogs and other rare birds and animals needs to supply inositol. The inositol dosage is usually 300 ~ 500mg/kg, otherwise it will happen inositol deficiency, the symptoms are loss of appetite, growth retardation, feed conversion rate decreased and so on.

As China's economy continues to develop, people's living standards have markedly improved, coupled with the aging society phenomenon gradually increasing, Chinese inositol market potential is huge. Especially the vitamin functions drinks which used inositol as the main component and inositol-containing lipid-lowering foods were have great market potential. In shrimp farming feed, inositol market prospects are also unanimously favorable by experts.

United States, Europe and Southeast Asia is the world's major inositol consumption areas, the annual consumption volume has several tons. With the economic conditions of the developed countries improved in recent years, inositol consumption will continue to increase. In addition, as inositol applications continue to expand, especially as feed additives in aquaculture, animal husbandry, poultry farming and other fields, and as raw materials apply in the nutritional supplement and cosmetic aspects also makes inositol consumption increased year by year. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the supply of inositol will be much less, market conditions continue to be optimistic.

Inositol is extensive used, has great practical value in electric power, transportation, energy, chemical, pharmaceutical raw materials and many other areas. Because of its new uses are constantly being discovered, the international inositol requirement was rapidly increased. Developed new production technology, improve the yield of inositol, reduce production costs, are the guarantee of inositol manufacturers in an invincible position of the competition.

China has 80% of inositol products for export, the current production cannot meet the needs of the international market. But China produces inositol has the advantages of raw materials, technology and market. China is using high-tech technology combined with the traditional production process, reduced production costs, improved product yield, in the international market with strong competitiveness.
