L-Leucine powder Raw Materials CAS 61-90-5
Product Overview:
L-Leucine powder is also known as leucine, that is, α-amino-gamma-methylvaleric acid, α-amino-isocaproic acid, with the molecular formula C6H13O2N. L-Leucine is an amino acid that is one of the important building blocks of proteins. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. L-Leucine is one of the eight essential amino acids in the human body, belonging to the fat family of amino acids within the twenty protein amino acids, and L-isoleucine and L-valine are called three branch chain amino acids.

Uses and synthesis of L-Leucine powder
L-Leucine powder is also known as leucine, that is, α-amino-gamma-methylvaleric acid, α-amino-isocaproic acid, with the molecular formula C6H13O2N. L-Leucine is an amino acid that is one of the important building blocks of proteins. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. L-Leucine is one of the eight essential amino acids in the human body, belonging to the fat family of amino acids within the twenty protein amino acids, and L-isoleucine and L-valine are called three branch chain amino acids.
Applications/Functions of L-Leucine powder
- L-Leucine powder is used for biochemical research, medical treatment and diagnosis of idiopathic hyperglycemia in young children, and for the treatment of anemia, poisoning, muscular dystrophy, poliomyelitis sequelae, neuritis, and psychosis.
- Nutritional supplements; Flavor enhancer.
- Biochemical reagent, L-Leucine is a necessary amino acid for the human body, mainly as a nutrient supplement, has the effect of lowering blood sugar and promoting growth.
Physicochemical Property of L-Leucine powder
White glossy hexahedral crystal or white crystalline powder. Slightly bitter (DL-leucine is sweet). Sublimation at 145 ~ 148℃. Melting point 293~295℃(decomposition). In the presence of hydrocarbons, the property is stable in inorganic acid aqueous solution.
Production methodprocess of L-Leucine powder
Protein (casein, keratin, etc.) was hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid, and the mixture of leucine, L-isoleucine and L-methionine was precipitated by alkaline neutralization in the hydrolysate, refined by copper salt method, and precipitated by β-naphthalene sulfonic acid to obtain L-Leucine powder.
