Riboflavin Production Costs - Q2 2023
Riboflavin Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Riboflavin (a.k.a. Vitamin B2, Lactoflavin, Vitamin G, Ovoflavin, Lyochrome, Hepatoflavin, Uroflavin) is a vitamin widely found in plant and animal cells. It occurs in its free form in eye’s retina, in whey, and in urine, but it fulfills its metabolic function mainly in complex forms. First isolated back in the 1930s, Riboflavin was produced for the first time only in 1940, by fermentation from the residue of butanol–acetone fermentation. Over the years, this vitamin has been produced via chemical synthesis and fermentation for different uses and applications, mainly related to therapeutic uses and for poultry and livestock feeds.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Riboflavin production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Feed-Grade Riboflavin Production
This report presents the economics of feed-grade Riboflavin production via a typical direct fermentation process using glucose as carbon source in the United States. In the process examined, Riboflavin is produced by fermentation of a glucose syrup. After fermentation, the broth is pasteurized for the inactivation of the microorganisms, Riboflavin is recovered by centrifugation, subjected to a mineral acid treatment, dried and packed. The final product obtained is 96 wt% Riboflavin (feed-grade).
Details: 1 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Riboflavin E11A target a 1 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Food-Grade Riboflavin Production
This report presents a cost analysis of food-grade Riboflavin production via a typical direct fermentation process using glucose as carbon source in the USA. In the process examined, Riboflavin is produced by fermentation of a glucose syrup. After fermentation, the broth is pasteurized for the inactivation of the microorganisms, Riboflavin is recovered by centrifugation, subjected to a mineral acid treatment, re-crystallized for further purification, dried and packed. The final product obtained is 99 wt% Riboflavin (food-grade).
Details: 2 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Riboflavin E21A target a 2 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Caffeine Production from Tea Waste
This report presents the economics of a typical Caffeine production process from tea leaves waste in the United States via an extraction process.
Details: 1.20 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report caffeine e11a target a 1.20 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Calcium Gluconate Production
This report presents the economics of a typical Calcium Gluconate production process from glucose, sodium bromide, and calcium carbonate in the United States. Initially, glucose dissolved in a sodium bromide solution is electrolyzed and is oxidized to gluconic acid. The resulting acid is then neutralized by calcium carbonate, producing calcium gluconate.
Details: 30 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Gluconate E11A target a 30 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Nicotinamide Production
This report presents the economics of Nicotinamide production from 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine (MPDA) in the United States. Initially, MPDA undergoes cyclic hydrogenation that gives 3-methylpiperidine. This compound is then dehydrogenated, yielding 3-methylpyridine, which reacts with ammonia to form 3-cyanopyridine. Finally, it is hydrolyzed to nicotinamide.
Details: 13 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Nicotinamide E11A target a 13 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
