Sodium Butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, typically supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder.It is widely used in animal nutrition, feed additives, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and biochemical research due to its functional role in gut health support, microbial balance regulation, and cellular metabolism studies.
Compared with liquid butyric acid, sodium butyrate offers better stability, easier handling, and reduced odor, making it more suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
High Stability & Low Volatility:Solid powder form with improved storage and transport safety.
Controlled Odor:Significantly milder odor than butyric acid, easier to use in formulations.
Excellent Water Solubility:Dissolves readily in water, allowing uniform distribution in feed and industrial systems.
Consistent Quality:Produced under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
Wide Application Compatibility:Suitable for feed, food research, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory use.
