L-Lysine Hydrochloride

Category: Amino Acids

L-lysine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of L-lysine, an essential amino acid that the body cannot synthesise and that is often the limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets. Nustras supplies it as a white crystalline powder for human nutrition, food fortification and feed.

L-lysine hydrochloride is formulated into amino-acid blends, sports-nutrition and protein powders, capsules and tablets, fortified flours and cereal products, nutrition beverages, enteral and specialised nutrition, cell-culture media and, in feed grades, into premixes and compound feed for poultry, swine and aquaculture.

The material is a white or almost white, odourless crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. CAS number 657-27-2, molecular formula C6H15ClN2O2, molecular weight 182.65. Identity and assay are confirmed by titration or HPLC against the pharmacopoeial or feed-additive monograph; optical rotation, loss on drying, chloride content, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies L-lysine hydrochloride 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-lysine (as the hydrochloride) is an accepted food, supplement and feed ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level, grade and labelling for their application.
