When formulating high-performance organic fertilizers, selecting the right type of amino acid supplement is crucial. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers both hydrolyzed and enzymatic soybean amino acid powders, each with distinct properties and benefits. Understanding these differences will help growers and manufacturers make the most informed choice for their specific applications.

Amino acid powders are generally derived from protein sources through either chemical hydrolysis or enzymatic hydrolysis. Chemical hydrolysis, while a common method, can sometimes lead to the degradation of certain amino acids or the formation of undesirable by-products. It often results in a higher proportion of free amino acids, which are smaller and can be absorbed quickly, but may lack the complex peptide structures beneficial for sustained nutrient delivery and signaling.

Our enzymatic soybean source compound amino acid powder, on the other hand, is produced using enzymes that specifically break down soybean proteins. This enzymatic process is more controlled and gentler, preserving the natural integrity of the amino acids and peptides. The resulting product typically contains a significant proportion of small peptides along with free amino acids. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are also readily absorbed by plants and offer additional benefits, such as enhanced resistance to degradation within the plant and improved signaling capabilities that can activate specific growth pathways. The organic production nature of this method is also a significant advantage for organic farming.

When comparing the two, enzymatic amino acids often offer superior bioavailability and a more complete nutritional profile due to the preservation of peptides and the higher proportion of readily usable L-amino acids. While both types of amino acid powders provide essential nitrogen and organic compounds, the enzymatic route is generally considered more advanced for applications focused on biostimulation and complex nutrient delivery. For instance, the specific organic nitrogen content and the presence of small peptides in our enzymatic product contribute to better soil health and plant resilience.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recommends considering the specific goals of your organic fertilizer formulation when making a selection. If the primary goal is rapid nutrient uptake and energy provision, both types can be effective. However, for advanced biostimulation, improved stress tolerance, and sustained plant development, our enzymatic soybean source compound amino acid powder often provides a more comprehensive solution. We advise customers to purchase based on the desired outcomes and to consult with our technical experts to determine the best fit for their needs. Making the right choice ensures that your organic fertilizers deliver maximum efficacy and contribute to healthier, more productive crops.
