How is L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Produced?
In earlier periods, L-Cysteine production was carried out by the hydrolysis of hair and keratins. L-Cysteine is produced by electrolytically reducing L-cystine, which is an isolated amino acid.
What are the Physical and Chemical Properties?
It is a chemical found in colorless or white crystalline form.
L-Cysteine Hydrochloride decomposes at temperatures above 260 °C.
Density: 1.43 g/cm³
Melting Point: 148-152 °C
Boiling Point: No information available.
In terms of solubility, it dissolves easily in water. Its solubility in water at 25 °C is 28 g/100 ml.
It is stable when stored in non-humid environments.
When used, it oxidizes in the presence of air under neutral and alkaline conditions. It has a more stable structure in acidic environments.
Hydrochloric acid is used to isolate L-cysteine. It contains approximately 15% acid.
What are the Usage Areas of L-Cysteine Hydrochloride?
In the manufacture of bakery products, the elasticity of the dough is important for the processing workflow. To ensure this elasticity, the gluten-disulfide bonds that reduce the viscosity of the dough must be broken. L-Cysteine Hydrochloride facilitates better handling of the dough by breaking these gluten-disulfide bonds.
L-Cysteine Hydrochloride monohydrate is used in the field of pharmacology to provide elasticity in skin tissue during collagen production.
Cysteine is used in amino acid metabolism to adjust the pool sizes of free amino acids.
In broth production, it is necessary to create an anaerobic environment for lactobacilli. Cysteine-HCl can be used for this. The reason cysteine is not preferred is that the solubility of the hydrochloride salt in water is higher.
It is used as a cold wave solution. This application area has been spreading rapidly recently.
It is an important component for Glutathione synthesis in the body. This is because Glutathione is the main precursor in the cell's antioxidant systems.
Redox balance must be maintained to protect the oxidant/antioxidant balance within the cell. It is a raw material that plays a key role in such reactions.
When water and flour combine, gluten bonds form. These gluten bonds cause the produced bakery products to harden. L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate increases the elasticity and workability of the dough by breaking the disulfide (S-S) bonds.
What are the Factors Affecting Prices?
The price of L-Cysteine Hydrochloride is directly dependent on the materials used in its production. Since the materials used in its production are not easy to obtain, the price generally increases.
L-Cysteine Hydrochloride prices vary depending on the stocks of the companies selling this chemical. As L-Cysteine Hydrochloride stocks increase, prices decrease.
