Ferrous Bisglycinate specifications help buyers compare iron content, product identity and batch acceptance requirements before ordering. Two offers with the same stated iron percentage may still differ in measurement basis, physical properties and supporting documentation.
Shivam Agro Industries includes this material in its glycinate chelate range. When evaluating a ferrous bisglycinate supplier, procurement and quality teams should review the quoted grade, test methods and intended application. A ferrous glycinate COA should report batch results against agreed limits, while iron chelate quality testing should address the parameters relevant to the buyer’s process.
Ferrous Bisglycinate Product Identity and Naming
Suppliers may use names such as ferrous glycinate, iron glycinate and iron glycine chelate in product listings. Buyers should confirm the composition and identity of the quoted grade rather than assume these names describe interchangeable materials. When comparing ferrous glycinate vs ferrous bisglycinate, review the supplier’s technical documentation and agreed specification.
Shivam Agro Industries describes itself as a manufacturer, exporter and wholesale supplier of Ferrous Bisglycinate in India, also listed on its site as Ferrous Glycinate. It describes the material as a chelate of iron formed by reacting reduced iron with glycine in the presence of citric acid. Buyers should request documentation identifying the composition and grade offered.
Ferrous Bisglycinate Iron Content and Assay
An assay result must identify the substance being measured. Buyers should confirm whether the reported percentage refers to total iron, ferrous iron or another defined parameter. The specification should also state whether the result is reported on an as received or dried basis before different offers are compared.
Shivam Agro Industries’ product description references a total iron content of 10 to 30 percent and a ferrous content of 8 to 25 percent, while its published technical specification table lists iron content at 20 percent minimum. Buyers should request the current specification for the quoted grade and confirm whether the reported result represents total iron or ferrous iron, together with the measurement basis and test method.
| Parameter | What buyers should confirm |
|---|---|
| Total iron | Reported percentage, measurement basis and method |
| Ferrous iron | Whether it is measured separately and its acceptance limit |
| Assay | The substance measured and the calculation basis |
| Moisture | Water measurement method and permitted limit |
| Loss on drying | Drying conditions and permitted weight loss |
Ferrous Bisglycinate Specifications and Test Methods
A result means little without the method that produced it. Every parameter on a specification, from assay to moisture to impurity limits, should name the test method used, since two laboratories can apply different procedures and report different numbers for the same material.
The supplier should be asked to name the method behind each figure and confirm whether it follows an agreed, named standard or an in house procedure the buyer has reviewed. Method differences are a common reason two certificates of analysis look inconsistent for what is supposed to be the same material.
Ferrous Bisglycinate Moisture and Solubility
Shivam Agro Industries describes its Ferrous Bisglycinate as completely soluble in water and appearing as a light brown powder. Its published specification lists loss on drying at 8 percent maximum and moisture content at 5 percent maximum as two separate parameters, rather than a single combined figure.
Review moisture and loss on drying separately, confirming the method and acceptance limit for each. For solubility evaluation, agree on the sample concentration, water temperature and mixing time, then record any undissolved residue. Request particle size and flow information where these properties affect the buyer’s blending or handling process.
Ferrous Bisglycinate Grade and Impurity Requirements
The same Ferrous Bisglycinate grade can face different impurity limits depending on whether it is destined for food, feed, dietary supplement, pharmaceutical or agricultural use. Each application area typically references its own standard, so a limit acceptable for one market or use case is not automatically acceptable for another.
Shivam Agro Industries’ published specification lists heavy metals expressed as lead at 50 ppm maximum. Buyers should confirm the test method and which contaminants this entry covers rather than interpret it as an individual lead result. Request separate impurity results where required by the intended application, and distinguish specification limits from actual batch measurements.
Ferrous Bisglycinate Sample Approval Process
Before committing to a commercial order, buyers should request a sample tied to a specific batch reference and accompanied by its certificate of analysis. A sample without a batch reference offers little assurance that later deliveries will match what was evaluated.
Independent testing can check whether the sample meets the agreed specification, while a formulation or process trial evaluates its suitability for the intended application. Record the approval criteria and permitted limits for subsequent deliveries. Agree with the supplier which changes require notification, further testing or requalification before commercial supply continues.
Ferrous Glycinate COA Review for Every Batch
A ferrous glycinate COA, or certificate of analysis, should show the product name, batch number, manufacturing and testing dates, the tested parameters, the specification limit for each, and the actual result. A certificate missing any of these is harder to rely on.
Each delivered batch should be checked against the specification agreed for that order, not only against the supplier’s general standard sheet, since the two are not always identical. Tracking results across several batches helps buyers spot drift before it affects production, and any out of specification result should trigger a documented review with the supplier.
About Shivam Agro Industries
Shivam Agro Industries, based in Ranasan G.I.D.C., Vijapur, Gujarat, manufactures and supplies a chelate and EDTA product range. The portfolio includes EDTA acid, EDTA disodium, EDTA tetrasodium and metal EDTA chelates such as EDTA zinc, EDTA copper, EDTA manganese, EDTA calcium, EDTA magnesium and EDTA ferric. Fe EDDHA is also listed separately in the product range.
A separate glycine and glycinate line covers glycine, Ferrous Bisglycinate and related zinc, copper, calcium, manganese and magnesium bisglycinate chelates, alongside dried ferrous sulphate and zinc sulfate monohydrate. Buyers evaluating a ferrous bisglycinate supplier for food, feed or industrial formulations can approach Shivam Agro Industries directly with their required specification and intended application.
Conclusion
A Ferrous Bisglycinate offer is only worth approving once its identity, measurement basis, test methods, application specific limits and batch evidence all line up with what the buyer actually needs.
Shivam Agro Industries welcomes enquiries that state the required specification, intended application, reference standard, order quantity and delivery schedule.
