L-Aspartic Acid

L-aspartic acid is a non-essential, proteinogenic amino acid with an acidic side chain, one of the twenty amino acids from which proteins are built. Nustras supplies it as a white crystalline powder produced to a vegan specification, used as an amino-acid ingredient in dietary supplements and food, and as a raw material for other ingredients such as mineral aspartates.

It is formulated into amino-acid blends, capsules and tablets, and nutrient premixes; it is used in food and beverage manufacture as a flavour component and acidulant, and in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacture as a starting material for mineral aspartates.

The material is a white crystalline powder, sparingly soluble in water; CAS 56-84-8, molecular formula C4H7NO4, molecular weight 133.10. Content is standardised to specification, with identity confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and specific rotation, and assay by titration. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies L-aspartic acid in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. L-aspartic acid is an accepted amino-acid ingredient in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
