the development space of l-alanine industry continues to expand, and local companies occupy competitive advantages in the global market

l-alanine, also known as α-aminopropionic acid, is an organic compound with the molecular formula c3h7no2. l-alanine appears as a colorless to white crystalline powder with umami and sweet flavors. it is soluble in ethanol and water, but insoluble in acetone and ether. l-alanine has the characteristics of good chemical stability and non-toxicity, and is widely used in the fields of food additives, daily chemicals and medicine.

the main synthesis methods of l-alanine include β-aminopropionitrile method, propionic acid chlorination amination method, α-bromopropionic acid chlorination method, cyanohydrin method, enzyme conversion method, etc. the enzymatic conversion method refers to using l-aspartic acid as raw material to generate l-alanine under the action of a catalyst, and then through fermentation, enzyme killing, filtration, washing, drying and other processes to obtain l-alanine. this method it has the advantages of low production cost, simple process flow, high raw material conversion rate, and high finished product yield, and is the mainstream preparation method of l-alanine.

l-alanine is mainly used in food additives, daily chemicals and pharmaceutical fields. in the field of food additives, l-alanine can enhance the umami and sweetness of food, and can also increase the nutritional value of food. it can be used as a sweetener, food flavor, and dietary supplement; in the field of daily chemicals, l-alanine alanine can be used to produce detergents for automatic dishwashers, accounting for nearly 50% of the demand; in the pharmaceutical field, l-alanine is the main component of amino acid injection, which can be used to treat encephalopathy and liver disease.

according to the “2023-2028 china l-alanine industry market in-depth research and development prospects forecast report released by the industrial research center it shows that l-alanine is a representative product of alanine. in recent years, driven by market demand, the development space of the l-alanine industry has continued to expand. the global l-alanine market size will reach us$1.26 billion in 2022. it is expected that the average annual compound growth rate of the global l-alanine market will be around 5.5% from 2023 to 2028, and its market size will reach us$1.75 billion by 2028. . benefiting from the deepening of the concept of green environmental protection, l-alanine as a synthetic biomaterial will further increase the industry’s prosperity.

the main players in the global l-alanine market include amresco of the united states, musashino chemical research institute co., ltd. of japan, etc. in the local market, chinese companies have large-scale production capabilities of l-alanine, and product quality has a competitive advantage in the global market. huaheng bio, hengyuan bio, fengyuan bio, etc. are the main players in my country’s l-alanine market. among them, hua heng bio focuses on the research and development, production and sales of alanine series products and is the world’s largest l-alanine manufacturer.

industry analysts said that l-alanine, as a special amino acid, has broad application prospects in many fields and benefits from nstream demand is growing and its market space is expanding. my country is a major producer of l-alanine, and local companies have a competitive advantage in the global market. in the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, the development speed of my country’s l-alanine industry will further accelerate.
