Pyridoxal Hydrochloride (CAS 65-22-5) is the hydrochloride salt form of pyridoxal, an aldehyde derivative of vitamin B6, supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder and used as an active B6 vitamer and precursor to pyridoxal-5-phosphate in nutraceutical and food formulations. It presents as a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in water and ethanol.
As an active B6 vitamer, pyridoxal hydrochloride serves as a biochemical precursor to pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), the coenzyme form involved in amino acid metabolism, red blood cell formation, and neurological function. SoleChem supplies food grade and pharma grade material for industrial formulation use.
Pyridoxal Hydrochloride reaches nutraceutical and food customers through SoleChem in Food Grade and Pharma Grade. Both grades are held in stock for industrial formulation. Material is packed in 25 kg fibre drums or cartons, with 1 kg and 5 kg options available for small lots.
SoleChem holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018 certification for food and nutraceutical products, and deliveries go to more than 40 countries. A certificate of analysis (COA) and safety data sheet (SDS) accompany every delivery. Send your specification and volume to request a bulk quote.
