Betaine (Trimethylglycine) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Trimethylglycine
- Glycine Betaine
- TMG
- N,N,N-Trimethylglycine
Betaine supplier for food, feed, personal-care and formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also called trimethylglycine, glycine betaine and TMG (CAS 107-43-7, formula C5H11NO2), this white crystalline solid is a water-soluble methyl donor and humectant used across industrial and manufacturing specifications.
Commercial options include betaine anhydrous, betaine monohydrate and betaine hydrochloride (betaine HCl). Anhydrous and monohydrate grades serve food, feed and personal-care work, while the hydrochloride salt is commonly named on feed and formulation specifications. Confirm the pack format with the quotation.
This product is not cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), the coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant. Feed premixes use betaine as a methyl donor and osmolyte; food plants select food-grade material for process and flavour use; personal-care formulators use suitable grades for humectancy and mildness in skin and hair systems.
Send the required form or grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Betaine grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Betaine anhydrous (trimethylglycine) | white free-flowing crystalline powder | — | Food, feed and personal-care formulation where anhydrous trimethylglycine is specified as the methyl donor or humectant. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Betaine monohydrate | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Industrial and feed applications that specify the monohydrate form rather than anhydrous material. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Betaine hydrochloride (betaine HCl) | white crystalline powder | — | Feed premixes and formulation work where the hydrochloride salt is named on the specification rather than free betaine. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about betaine
Is betaine the same as cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB)?
No. This page covers betaine as trimethylglycine (glycine betaine, TMG, CAS 107-43-7). Cocamidopropyl betaine is a separate coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant sold on its own catalogue page. State which material your formulation uses so the enquiry is routed correctly.
What is the difference between betaine anhydrous, monohydrate and HCl?
Anhydrous betaine is free trimethylglycine. Monohydrate includes water of crystallisation. Betaine hydrochloride is the HCl salt used in many feed and formulation specifications. They are related commercial options, not interchangeable without checking the named form on the buyer's specification.
Is industrial betaine suitable for animal feed premixes?
Feed manufacturers commonly specify anhydrous, monohydrate or hydrochloride betaine as a methyl donor or osmolyte. Suitability depends on the premix recipe and required grade, so include the named form, assay target and any documentation needs in the enquiry.
Can betaine be used in food and personal-care formulations?
Food-grade betaine is used in selected food systems for flavour and process performance. Personal-care formulators use suitable grades as a humectant and mildness aid. State the application and grade so the quotation matches the intended use.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
Name the form (anhydrous, monohydrate or hydrochloride), intended application, assay or purity target, moisture limits if relevant, and any documentation required. For an existing formulation, attach the current specification or a representative sample requirement.
What details are needed for a betaine price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
