The development environment of isoleucine is favorable, but market competition is intensifying

Isoleucine is also known as isoleucine and 2-amino-3-methylpentanoic acid. Its chemical formula is C6H13NO2. It is a type of amino acid. It is the only glycogenic and ketogenic amino acid among branched-chain amino acids and is also the most effective. A branched chain amino acid. Isoleucine plays an important role in the life activities of the body: Isoleucine can promote protein synthesis and inhibit protein decomposition; it can promote the synthesis of hormones or enzymes needed by the body, such as insulin and growth hormone, and can control blood sugar ; As a substrate for glutamine synthesis, isoleucine can regulate amino acid metabolism and provide energy to body tissues.

There are four main methods for synthesizing isoleucine: fermentation method, synthesis method using 3-methylpentanoic acid as raw material, microwave radiation C-alkylation method using glycine as raw material, and new process using seaweed as raw material. Depending on the fermentation process, the upstream raw materials of this product mainly include glucose, 3-methylpentanoic acid, glycine, hydantoin, etc. Isoleucine is currently mainly used as an additive in the feed industry. Adding isoleucine to feed can improve the performance of poultry and livestock. It can enhance the protein efficiency and amino acid deposition rate of aquatic products, enhance the body’s immune function, mediate intestinal function, etc.

In recent years, the development environment of the isoleucine industry has been relatively good, which is reflected in the following aspects:

In terms of policy environment, the bioeconomy industry has received multiple policy supports in recent years. The “14th Five-Year Plan for Bioeconomy Development” proposes to promote the integration and innovation of biotechnology and information technology, and accelerate the development of biomedicine, biological breeding, biomaterials, bioenergy, etc. industry and make the bioeconomy bigger and stronger. The “14th Five-Year Plan” for national economic and social development points out to promote the integration and innovation of biotechnology and information technology, accelerate the development of biomedicine, biological breeding, biomaterials, bioenergy and other industries, and make the bioeconomy bigger and stronger.

In terms of the macroeconomic environment, with the continued development of the agricultural and rural economy, scientific breeding technologies, concepts and methods are continuously promoted, which has promoted the growth in demand for feed additives, especially biological additives.

In terms of social environment, the income level of my country’s residents continues to grow, and the demand for meat, poultry and aquatic products continues to increase, which promotes the development of related breeding industries, which in turn drives the growth in demand for feed and additives such as isoleucine.

In terms of technical environment, my country’s biotechnology continues to develop, research on isoleucine and its efficacy continues to increase, and related technologies have continued to make progress, promoting the development of isoleucine production and application.

However, the development of the isoleucine industry also faces some unfavorable factors, such as increasingly strict environmental protection policies, increased pollution control costs for enterprises, and some enterprises that improperly dispose of pollutants will also face risks such as fines and closure for rectification. At the same time, with the continuous development of isoleucine technology and the continuous improvement of enterprise supply capabilities, market competition is intensifying.
