What
is Zinc Gluconate? Zinc gluconate is the zinc salt of gluconic acid. It is
an ionic compound consisting of two anions of gluconate for each zinc(II)
cation. Zinc gluconate is a popular form for the delivery of zinc as a dietary
supplement providing 14.35% elemental Zinc by weight.
Production
of Zinc Gluconate Gluconic acid is found naturally, and is industrially
made by the fermentation of glucose, typically by Aspergillus niger, but also
by other fungi, e.g. Penicillium, or by bacteria, e.g. Acetobacter, Pseudomonas
and Gluconobacter. In its pure form, it is a white to off-white powder. It can
also be made by electrolytic oxidation, although this is a more expensive
process. The advantages are a lower microbiological profile, and a more
complete reaction, yielding a product with a longer shelf life.
