L-Tyrosine

Product Overview

L-Tyrosine, universally identified by the Chemical Abstracts Service registry number 60-18-4, stands as a critical non-essential amino acid within the biochemical landscape. Our premium grade material is synthesized through advanced microbial fermentation processes, ensuring superior chiral purity and consistent quality batch after batch. As a fundamental building block for protein synthesis, this compound plays an indispensable role in various physiological functions, particularly serving as a key precursor for several important neurotransmitters.

The chemical structure, formally known as (S)-2-Amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Propionic Acid, exhibits excellent stability under standard storage conditions. Our manufacturing facility adheres to strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), guaranteeing that every kilogram produced meets the rigorous demands of the global nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. The material presents as a pristine white crystalline powder, offering excellent flowability and dispersion characteristics essential for modern industrial blending and capsule filling processes.

Specifications and Quality Standards

Quality assurance is the cornerstone of our production philosophy. We maintain comprehensive testing protocols to ensure compliance with major international pharmacopoeias. The following table outlines the critical technical parameters for our standard commercial grade L-Tyrosine:

Industrial Applications

The versatility of L-Tyrosine extends across multiple high-value sectors. In the nutraceutical industry, it is widely utilized in dietary supplements designed to support cognitive function and mental alertness. As a biochemical precursor to dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, it is often included in formulations aimed at promoting healthy stress response and mood regulation. Furthermore, its role in the metabolism of phenylalanine makes it a valuable component in specialized clinical nutrition products.

Beyond human nutrition, this amino acid serves as a vital intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical agents. Its high purity profile makes it suitable for use in research and development laboratories focusing on peptide synthesis and novel drug discovery. The fermentation-derived origin ensures a sustainable supply chain, free from animal-derived contaminants, which is increasingly preferred by consumers seeking clean-label ingredients.

Packaging and Storage

To maintain integrity during transit and storage, our L-Tyrosine is packaged in robust, moisture-resistant containers. Standard options include 1 kg sealed bags for sampling, 10 kg poly pails for pilot-scale production, and 25 kg fiber drums for large-scale manufacturing operations. We recommend storing the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Proper handling procedures should be followed to prevent contamination, ensuring the material remains within specification until the point of use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment to verify compliance with stated specifications.
