Manufacturing Excellence
DEDICATED PRODUCTION FACILITY
Commentry: the one and only place where Smartamine MAX is produced
To manufacture Smartamine MAX, a dedicated coating solution production line has been built in parallel with the existing Smartamine M coating solution line. The coating application unit itself, however, is shared by both products.
Quality you can trust
Every single Batch needs to pass quality control to be approved for sale.
Analytical method to determine methionine content of Smartamine MAX
1
Grinding of Smartamine Max
2
Extraction of methionine from the Smartamine MAX
3
Separation and UV quantification at 205nm
80 %
DL-Methionine content
Each batch is verified to achieve a minimum of 80% DL-Methionine content.
Analytical method to determine protection rate of Smartamine MAX
1
Smartamine Max beadlets are placed in a buffer solution (pH 6.0, 40° for 4h) to assess the protection rate
2
Analysis of supernatant solution
3
Separation and UV quantification at 205nm
94%
Protection rate
Smartamine MAX achieves a minimum of 94% protection rate. Only batches meeting our established protection specs (>94%) are released to the market, ensuring consistent rumen bypass performance and supporting bioavailability claims.
Analytical method to determine biopolymer content (step 3)
1
Analyzing Optimal Biopolymer Content
Chitosan Content within the coating is tightly controlled to meet defined specifications for every Smartamine MAX production batch.
2
Analyzing Optimal Coating Rate
Coating Rate is precisely controlled during manufacturing through in-process analytical checks to ensure every batch meets defined specifications both protection and release performance.
