Frequently Asked Questions
What is L-Glutamine FCC?
L-Glutamine (CAS 56-85-9, C5H10N2O3) is an alpha-amino acid with an amide side chain, supplied to Food Chemicals Codex specification. It is used as a nutritional and food flavoring ingredient, a component of cell-culture media, a feed additive, and a biochemical research substrate.
What is L-Glutamine used for industrially?
As an FCC-grade input it serves food and supplement formulation, microbiological and mammalian cell-culture media, amino-acid supplementation in animal feed, and as a reagent substrate for biochemical research.
Is L-Glutamine water soluble?
Yes, L-glutamine is water soluble, which supports its use in liquid supplement systems and in cell-culture media where it is a standard amino-acid component.
What is the CAS number, formula, and HS code?
CAS 56-85-9, formula C5H10N2O3, HS 2922.49 (amino-acids and their salts, other). Lot-specific Certificate of Analysis and SDS are available on request.
What bulk packaging and order quantities are available?
It is distributed as an FCC-grade ingredient in bulk packaging for manufacturing. Submit your target volume and FCC/CoA documentation needs through a bulk RFQ for current pricing, pack sizes, and lead time.
