Threonine Price Trend
Threonine Price Trend
Due to a scarcity of threonine, prices increased in China during the third quarter of 2021. Threonine prices in China in September 2021 were around 1650-1690 USD/MT. Upstream amino acid prices rose in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of production halts caused by the region's ongoing energy crisis and limited coal supplies from India, pushing amino acid prices to 2533 USD/MT in December, affecting threonine prices in the region.
Rising feed prices and increased demand for high amino acid feed provide manufacturers with an opportunity to use threonine in animal feed and develop new products. Increased demand for meat products means more opportunities for industry participants. Cheese is a source of threonine, and manufacturers are expected to profit from label improvisation. There is a demand for threonine acid-containing products. Proper advertising and campaigning to raise public awareness about the need and importance of various amino acids is required for the threonine market to grow.

About Threonine:
Threonine is known to be a crucial amino acid in humans. It is found to be in ample amounts in human plasma, specifically in new-borns. Severe deficiency of threonine can cause neurological dysfunction and lameness in experimental animals. Threonine is an immunostimulant that promotes the growth of the thymus gland. It can perhaps encourage immune cell defense function. Foods high in threonine include cottage cheese, lentils, poultry, fish, meat, black turtle bean and sesame seeds.
Chemical Formula of Threonine:
- C4H9NO3
Synonyms:
- 2-Amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid
- L-threonine
Molecular Weight:
- 119.12 g/mol
Industrial Uses:
- Pharmaceutical Drugs
Production Processes:
- Production of Threonine via Fermentation; and via Hydrolysis of Protein (Casein)
The microbial strains employed in the production process of Threonine were genetically manipulated. Theses strains include Serratia marcescens, C. glutamicum and E. coli. Escherichia coli is most widely utilised in the production of Threonine due to their dynamic growth pattern and better substrate utilisation.
