Tryptophan is not only found in most proteins, but it also acts as a precursor of serotonin. Tryptophan is converted to 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HTP), which in turn, is converted into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is also essential in regulating appetite, sleep, mood, as well as pain. Tryptophan is a natural sedative which is present in dairy products, meats, brown rice, fish, and even in soybeans.

Tryptophan production at industrial level utilises biosynthesis and is based on the fermentation of serine and indole. The process involves the use of either wild-type or genetically modified bacteria such as B. amyloliquefaciens, C. glutamicum or E. coli. These microbial strains carry mutations and the conversion is catalysed by the enzyme tryptophan synthase.
The displayed pricing data is derived through weighted average purchase price, including contract and spot transactions at the specified locations unless otherwise stated.
