Frequently Asked Questions
What is acetyl tyrosine used for?
N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine (CAS 537-55-3) is the N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid L-tyrosine, used as a cosmetic ingredient in tanning and skin-care preparations and handled as a specialty amino-acid derivative for formulation. RawSource supplies it for industrial and formulation use.
What is the difference between N-acetyl tyrosine and L-tyrosine?
N-acetyl tyrosine is L-tyrosine with an acetyl group on the amino nitrogen, giving the more water-soluble N-acetyl form (CAS 537-55-3, C11H13NO4) preferred for aqueous formulation. Parent L-tyrosine is the underivatized amino acid. Specify which identity you require when ordering.
Is acetyl tyrosine water soluble?
The N-acetyl form is more water-soluble than parent L-tyrosine, which is why it is used to deliver tyrosine functionality in aqueous formulations. Refer to the technical data sheet for solubility parameters for the supplied grade.
What HS code applies to acetyl tyrosine?
Acetyl tyrosine is classified under HS 2922.50 — amino-alcohol-phenols, amino-acid-phenols, and other amino-compounds with oxygen function. Confirm the destination tariff line and national suffix with your customs broker before import.
How is bulk acetyl tyrosine packaged and quoted?
RawSource supplies specialty amino-acid derivatives in fiber drums, sacks, or smaller packs depending on volume. Packaging, lead time, and pricing are quoted per order; submit volume and destination for a bulk quote, with SDS and CoA provided on shipment.
