Amino acids have a wide range of applications and the industry is developing rapidly

Amino acid is an organic compound of basic amino group and acidic carboxyl group, which can build and repair cell tissue. It is a colorless crystal with a high melting point. As one of the main components of protein, amino acids are important substances for maintaining body functions and have functions such as promoting body metabolism and information transmission. Amino acids have a wide variety of types and a wide range of applications, and they play a positive role in the development of modern society.

Amino acids can be used in different fields. Currently, they are mainly divided into three fields: food processing, pharmaceutical production, and industrial production. Among them, in food processing, amino acids are mainly used to process and synthesize protein foods. There are currently about 20 kinds of amino acids on the market that can synthesize proteins. Amino acids can be used to make compound amino acid infusions and synthetic peptide drugs. Compound amino acid infusions are one of the necessary drugs in modern medical treatment. Currently, there are more than 100 types of amino acids used in medicines. Amino acids have the function of seasoning and flavoring. Glutamic acid can be produced through microbial fermentation. Glutamic acid can be used as MSG to make meals.

According to the “2022-2026 Amino Acid Industry Venture Investment Situation and Investment and Financing Strategy Guidance Report released by the Industrial Research Center, amino acids are A substance with high nutritional value, the market demand is constantly increasing, attracting a large number of companies to participate. At present, there are many amino acid production enterprises in my country, about 100, most of which are large and medium-sized enterprises, and the market competition is extremely fierce. Common amino acid brands currently on the market include Muscle Technology, Notland, Jian Le Duo, Tomson By-Health, Kangbit, etc.

At present, my country has become the world’s major producer of amino acids. However, my country’s deep-processing technology for amino acid products is low and the equipment is backward. Most of its deep-processed products rely on imports, leaving relatively large room for development of new companies. Enterprises can increase their development efforts and develop new amino acid production technologies to improve their competitiveness and occupy a place in the amino acid market.

There are many types of amino acids and they are rich in nutrients and can be processed into various products, such as health products, amino acid tablets, glucose powder, milk powder, oral liquid, etc. Compared with foreign countries, my country’s amino acid deep-processing products are fewer and more homogeneous. In the future, my country’s amino acid industry will develop in the direction of specialization and standardization.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, my country’s amino acid production has continued to grow. In the context of maintaining sufficient supply of amino acids in my country, it is also exported to overseas. At present, my country’s amino acid production and processing technology is relatively low and the equipment is backward. Enterprises that produce amino acids can increase research and development efforts, enrich amino acid deep-processing products, improve amino acid production equipment, reduce costs, and promote the rapid development of the amino acid industry. In the future, my country’s amino acid industry will develop towards specialization and scale.
