Application / Intended Use
Vitamin A palmitate is the standard form for fortifying edible oils, margarine, milk and sugar under public-health programmes, and for supplement and feed premixes. It is supplied oil-dispersed or as a stabilised beadlet, because the free vitamin degrades quickly on exposure to oxygen and light.
