Overview of Thai FDA Dietary Supplement Manufacturing Methods

Overview of Thai FDA Dietary Supplement Manufacturing Methods

The Thai FDA regulates various manufacturing methods for dietary supplements to ensure safety and quality. Below is a summary of these methods under the framework of Thai FDA dietary supplement classification:

1. Pasteurization: A heat treatment method used to kill harmful microbes in liquids or semi-solids. Commonly applied to fruit-based supplements.
2. Chilling: Lowering the temperature to slow down microbial growth, preserving the quality and safety of perishable dietary supplements.
3. Freezing: Used to preserve supplements for long periods by freezing them below 0°C, preventing microbial activity.
4. Commercial Sterilization (Low Acidity Foods): A process that uses high temperatures to sterilize low-acid dietary supplements, ensuring they are free from pathogens.
5. Aseptic Processing and Packaging System: Supplements are sterilized separately from packaging, then filled into sterile containers to prevent contamination.
6. Microbial Removal by Filtration: Supplements in liquid form are filtered to remove microbial contaminants without the need for heat.
7. Compression of Carbon Dioxide: A technique that involves pressurizing carbon dioxide to inhibit microbial growth and extend the shelf life of dietary supplements.
8. Sterilysis (Commercial Sterilization, Low Acidity Foods, Controlled Products): A controlled sterilization process, specifically for low-acid dietary supplements, ensuring microbial safety.
9. Reducing Inflation Activity by Adding Solution: Adjusting the composition of supplements by adding solutions to improve consistency and reduce unwanted reactions.
10. Cost Reduction by Separating Out Water: A method to concentrate supplements by removing water, reducing volume and improving shelf life.
11. Mixing: Combining various ingredients in precise quantities to ensure uniformity in dietary supplement production.
12. Fermentation: A biological process that may be used in probiotic or enzyme-based supplements to create beneficial compounds.
13. Irradiation: Exposing supplements to ionizing radiation to destroy harmful microorganisms while maintaining the nutritional integrity.
14. Size Reduction: Mechanically breaking down raw materials into smaller particles to improve the consistency and absorption of supplements.
15. Repacking: Repackaging supplements into different formats or sizes for distribution and sale.
16. Tableting: Compressing powdered ingredients into solid tablets, a common format for dietary supplements.
17. Capsule Filling: Encapsulating powders or liquids in gelatin or vegetarian capsules for easy consumption.
18. Commercial Sterilization: High-temperature sterilization to eliminate microbial contamination in supplements.
19. Commercial Sterilization (Acid-Adjusted Food): Sterilization of acid-adjusted supplements to ensure safety and shelf stability.
20. Adjustable Acetic Acid (Equilibrium pH 3.3): A process used to adjust the acidity of supplements to enhance preservation and microbial control.
21. Microbial Control in Production (Acidic/Acid-Adjusted Food): Controlling microbial growth by maintaining an acidic environment during supplement production.
22. Pasteurization (Low-Acid Foods, Non-Hermetic Sealing): Applying pasteurization to low-acid supplements without hermetic sealing to extend shelf life.
23. Pasteurization (Acidic/Acid-Adjusted Foods, Non-Hermetic Sealing): A heat treatment applied to acidic supplements to ensure microbial safety.
24. Physical Refining: Removing impurities from oils or other raw materials through physical processes for dietary supplements.
25. Chemical Refining: Using chemical agents to purify raw materials like oils, ensuring the final supplement product meets quality standards.
26. Hydrogen Refill Process (Partial Hydrogenation): A process used to alter the chemical composition of oils in supplements, though not commonly recommended due to health concerns.
27. Iodine Supplementation: Adding iodine to supplements to meet nutritional needs, especially for thyroid health.
28. Roasting Coffee Beans: A specific process for supplements derived from coffee beans, which may have antioxidant properties.
29. Processing and Packing: General steps involved in preparing and packaging supplements for the market.
30. Sorting and Packing: Ensuring that supplements are uniform in size and quality before packaging them for distribution.
31. Acid Hydrolysis: A chemical process that breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones, potentially used for enhancing nutrient absorption.

These methods, regulated by the Thai FDA dietary supplement classification, ensure that dietary supplements produced in Thailand meet safety, quality, and regulatory standards. According to the method used in manufacturing, the registration process of your Dietary Supplement Product may require different documentation and have slightly difference in the procedure.
