Citric acid is new to us, but its use is everywhere. Citric acid is derived from the catalyzed conversion of acetyl-CoA by citrate synthase. After the converted citric acid or citric acid from food enters the cellular mitochondria, under the action of aconitase and isocitric acid dehydrogenase, a large amount of ATP is generated, which directly provides a large amount of energy for the body and promotes the growth and development of the body, therefore, citric acid is also known as primary metabolite growth promoter, often used as an acidulant and food attractant for feed. So what is the role of citric acid in aquaculture? Now let's take a look at it with Guangdong Qikang Chemical!
1, to protect the quality of feed, improve the feeding capacity of fish and shrimp, often used for feed anti-mildew antioxidants.
2. Accelerate the growth of aquaculture varieties, reduce the bait coefficient, and provide feed additives for aquatic animals.
3. Reduce the pH of the digestive tract of fish and shrimp, improve the activity of digestive enzymes, and provide the digestibility of nutrients after citric acidification.
4. Improve the immunity and anti-stress of fish and shrimp, the way to form energy is shorter than glucose, which can improve the non-specific resistance of the body and enhance the ability to resist stress.
5. Improve the mineral absorption rate and add citric acid to the feed to reduce the environmental pollution of the water body, which can improve the utilization rate of minerals such as magnesium and calcium.
6. It has the function of antioxidant and anti-mildew and mixes with antioxidants to improve the antioxidant effect, prevent/delay feed oxidation, improve the stability of feed and extend the storage period.
