Fermentation Technology to Produce Tryptophan

1. Product Presentation

Tryptophan is an essential aminoacid produced by a strain of Echerichia coli.

Molecular weight: 204.23

Empirical formula: C11H12N2O2

CAS No: [73-22-3]

2.Use

Food enrichment. Supplementation of wheat-based foods with Tryptophan improves their protein quality and results in improved growth and tissue synthesis.

For feed technical qualities are sufficient and widely used, but for dosing reasons, crystalline qualities are often preferred. In this case purity is higher then 98.5%.

3.Technology

Strain and technological know-how for fermentation and recovery is available through ITTC:

Final titre: 35±3 g/L

Fermentation time: 50±5 hrs

Recovery yield as crystal: ≥70%

Recovery yield as Feed Grade: ≥85%
