MUSCAT CHEMICAL TAG::
Choline is indispensable for a number of fundamental processes in the body. Although a natural ingredient in many feedstuffs, the concentration is usually too low to ensure proper development and optimum growth in young animals, especially poultry, pigs and calves, but also cats, dogs and other fur-bearing animals.
CHOLINE CHLORIDE Feed Grade
Choline chloride is an organic compound that's a quaternary ammonium salt, meaning it's made up of choline cations and chloride anions:
Chemical formula: [(CH₃)₃NCH₂CH₂OH]⁺Cl⁻ Melting point: 302 °CCHOLINE CHLORIDE is an important additive in feed especially for chickens where it accelerates growth. It forms a deep eutectic solvent with urea, ethylene glycol, glycerol, and many other compounds. It is also used as a clay control additive in fluids used for hydraulic fracturing.
Choline chloride is readily biodegradable.
Uses of Choline chloride:
Choline chloride as Feed additive, precursor to acetylcholine, methyl donor in metabolic processes, and lipid metabolism Choline chloride is found in many plants and animal organs, and is a basic component of lecithin. It has several uses, including:
Feed additive: Used in livestock metabolism
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) preparation: Choline chloride can be used to prepare DESs, which are a type of green solvent with low melting point and volatility, high thermal stability, and solubility for various substances.
Biodegradable solvent: Eutectic mixtures of urea and choline chloride have unusual solvent properties, making them useful as a biodegradable solvent at ambient temperatures.
