Vitamin B1 (chemical formula C₁₂H₁₇ClN₄OS・HCl), also known as thiamine, is a core member of the water-soluble B vitamins. It is naturally found in many foods, and its artificial synthesis is well-established. It participates in human energy metabolism as a coenzyme. With its core characteristics of "key regulation of energy metabolism and protection of the nervous system," it is widely used in food, daily chemical products, and other fields, and is an essential nutrient for maintaining normal human physiological functions.
Chemical Composition: The core active form is thiamine. Commercial products are mostly in the form of thiamine hydrochloride (more stable), while some products are in the form of thiamine nitrate (better water solubility). Commercial products typically have a purity ≥98% (food grade/pharmaceutical grade). It can be converted into thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) in the body to exert its coenzyme function.
Physical Properties: Thiamine hydrochloride is a white crystalline or crystalline powder, odorless, with a slightly bitter taste; readily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol; melting point approximately 248-250℃, with good thermal stability, heat-resistant in acidic environments (not easily decomposed at normal food processing temperatures), but sensitive to alkalis, light, and oxygen.
Chemical Properties: Highly water-soluble, does not easily accumulate in the body (excess can be excreted in urine); stable under acidic conditions, easily decomposed and inactivated in alkaline environments; can synergistically act with carbohydrates, proteins, and other B vitamins, participating in enzymatic reactions, with no significant chemical incompatibilities.

Food Industry
Fortified Foods: Used in infant formula, children's growth milk powder, school meals, elderly food, sports food, and cereal products (such as fortified rice cereal, bread, and biscuits) to enhance nutrient content, compensate for nutritional deficiencies in natural foods, and support growth, development, and health maintenance.
Regular Foods: Added to beverages, condiments, meal replacement powders, etc., to improve nutritional value without affecting taste or shelf life, aligning with the trend of healthy food consumption.
Daily Chemicals Industry
Skincare Products: Added to face creams, lotions, conditioners, etc., to participate in skin keratin metabolism and scalp health maintenance, helping to improve dry skin and itchy scalp, suitable for dry skin and damaged hair.
Oral Care: Used in toothpaste, mouthwash, etc., to help relieve oral mucosal inflammation, improve oral health, and is non-irritating, suitable for gentle oral care products.
Key to physiological function and core of energy metabolism: As a coenzyme for key enzymes such as α-ketoacid dehydrogenase and transketolase, it participates in carbohydrate metabolism and energy production, and is a core nutrient for maintaining vitality and relieving fatigue. It is also crucial for the structure and function of the nervous system, protecting nerve cell membranes and maintaining normal nerve conduction.
Naturally safe and highly tolerable: Naturally found in grains, lean meat, nuts, and legumes, its artificial synthesis (chemical synthesis method) is mature, resulting in high product purity and few impurities. It is non-toxic when used within the prescribed dosage; excessive intake (more than 500mg daily) may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort, but the risk for daily use is extremely low.
Water-soluble and easily absorbed, suitable for multiple scenarios: Its water-soluble properties make it easily digested and absorbed by the body, unaffected by fat metabolism, suitable for various populations; it is resistant to processing and easy to formulate, working synergistically with other B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals to enhance nutritional supplementation effects, making it suitable for formulations in food, health products, and pharmaceuticals.
