Food Grade L-Tyrosine Amino Acid Powder CAS 60-18-4 for Nutritional Ingredient

Basic Information

L-Tyrosine (CAS 60-18-4) is a naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid present in proteins and a precursor to important biochemical compounds. It appears as a white to pale-brown crystalline powder with stable properties and defined physical characteristics.

L-Tyrosine is widely used in biochemical research, nutrition formulation and industrial applications that require high-purity amino acid feedstock.

Key Functions & Benefits

• Essential building block in protein synthesis.

• Precursor to neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine.

• Used in nutritional applications and biochemical assays.
  
  

Applications

L-Tyrosine has a variety of uses in chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition:

1. Biochemical & Research Use

• Used as a standard amino acid in protein synthesis and cell culture studies.

• Common reagent in biochemical research kits.

2. Precursor to Biologically Active Molecules

• L-Tyrosine is converted in the body into catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine and other.

• It is also a precursor for melanin and thyroid hormones (in broader pathways).

3. Nutritional Ingredient

• As an amino acid building block, tyrosine can be used in formulation of nutritional supplements and fortified foods.

• It appears naturally in many protein-rich foods (e.g., dairy, meat, grains).

4. Cosmetic & Functional Raw Material

• Used in cosmetic applications for skin conditioning and related formulations under controlled conditions.
