Kyowa Develops Commercial Fermentation-Based Production Method for L-Tyrosine
Kyowa Hakko, New York, NY, has developed the world’s first fermentation-based method for the commercial production of L-Tyrosine, an amino acid. Previously, the main production methods for L-Tyrosine used animal protein, such as hair or feathers. However, to avoid the risks of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and viruses from animal sources, such as avian influenza, customers want products made from non-animal sources. Although there are existing production methods that use plant sources, such as soybeans, it is difficult to produce large amounts for an economical price. To resolve that issue, Kyowa Hakko developed a production method based on fermentation that is suitable for mass production, which it plans to initiate in 2007
