Lysine is an essential amino acid
- human body is not able to produce.For this
reason, lysine must be obtained from food. Amino acids are the
building blocks of protein.
- Lysine is important for proper growth and it plays an
essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient
responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping
to lower cholesterol.
- Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium
and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a
substance important for bones and connective tissues including
skin, tendon, and cartilage.
- Lysine is available in tablets, capsules, creams, and
liquids, and is usually sold in the L-lysine form.
- Lysine is present in Molasses, Corn & many other natural
food products
There is no known production of L-Lysine in India
at present.
The possible reason for absence of capacity is the non availability
of commercially proven indigenous technology and the prohibitive
cost of acquisition of technology from abroad for low capacity
project.
Molasses based products namely Lactic acid, L-Lysine, Gluconic acid,
Glutamic acid, Itaconic acid of high importance to India
Indigenous process technology efforts for L-Lysine have been
inadequate. As of now, the country is dependent upon global source
of technology for setting up L-Lysine project immediately
Internationally, the historic leaders in products such as Lysine,
Lactic acid and Glutamic acid/MSG are companies with long experience
in operating fermentors
Plant with 20000 tonnes capacity will be able to bridge the demand
supply gap.
