Introduction of Glutamic Acid Solution
Glutamic acid (glutamate), with the chemical formula C5H9NO4, is a major component of proteins and one of the essential amino acids in nitrogen metabolism within biological organisms. It plays a significant role in cognition, learning, memory, plasticity, and developmental metabolism. Glutamate is also crucially involved in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, stroke, ischemia, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), Huntington's chorea, and Parkinson's disease.
We provide a full range of engineering services, including project preparatory work, overall design, equipment supply, electrical automation, installation guidance and commissioning.
Glutamic Acid Production Process
Starch
01
Primary processing of grain
Primary processing of grain
Starch produced from grain crops such as corn, wheat, or rice is used as raw material and processed through liquefaction and saccharification to obtain glucose.

02
Fermentation
Fermentation
Using molasses or starch as raw materials, with Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium, and Nocardia as microbial strains, and urea as a nitrogen source, fermentation is carried out under conditions of 30-32°C. After the fermentation is complete, the fermentation liquid is inactivated, the pH is adjusted to 3.5-4.0, and it is stored in a fermentation liquid tank for later use.

Separation
Separation
After the fermentation liquid is separated from the microbial mass, the pH value is adjusted to 3.0 with hydrochloric acid for isoelectric point extraction, and glutamic acid crystals are obtained after separation.

Extraction
Extraction
Glutamic acid in the mother liquor is further extracted by ion exchange resin, followed by crystallization and drying to obtain the finished product.

Application Fields of Glutamic acid
Food Industry
Glutamic acid can be used as a food additive, salt substitute, nutritional supplement, and flavor enhancer (mainly for meat, soup, and poultry, etc.). Its sodium salt—sodium glutamate is used as a flavoring agent, such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and other seasonings.
Feed Industry
Glutamic acid salts can significantly improve the appetite of livestock and effectively accelerate growth. Glutamic acid salts can promote the growth and development of livestock, improve feed conversion rates, enhance the immune functions of animal bodies, improve the composition of milk in female animals, increase the nutritional level, and thereby improve the weaning survival rate of lambs.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Glutamic acid itself can be used as a drug, participating in the metabolism of proteins and sugars in the brain, promoting the oxidation process. In the body, it combines with ammonia to form non-toxic glutamine, which reduces blood ammonia levels and alleviates symptoms of hepatic coma. Glutamic acid is also used in biochemical research and in medicine for the treatment of hepatic coma, prevention of epilepsy, and alleviation of ketosis and ketonemia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wet Milling Process of Corn Starch
+
These days, cornstarch is made by a process called wet milling.
Routine Use of Purifier
+
In the complete flour mill plant, the flour purifier is an indispensable part. After carefully debugging and operation adjustment, the working condition of the purifier should be patrolled frequently during the production process, which is also very important for the stability of the flour quality and the service life of the flour purifier.
Corn Gluten Meal Usage
+
Corn Gluten Meal is a protein-rich product which extract from maize, with the process of steeping, separating, drying separation and condensing the gluten liquid, drying it.
