Abstract:Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B 12 , is a vital supplement for vitamin B 12 deficiency. Hydrotropic antisolvent crystallization was utilized for reducing methylcobalamin particle size as it offers advantages like enhancing the processing capacity, using solvents with low toxicity and low risk to human health. Recently, environmental awareness has fostered the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) for evaluating the environmental impacts of various processes. In the present study, a comparative study… Show more
