2. What Are Amino Acids?

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a critical role in structural proteins, enzymes, metabolic pathways, and signaling molecules across biological systems.

From an industrial perspective, amino acids are widely used as:

  • Nutritional ingredients in dietary supplements

  • Functional components in food & beverage formulations

  • Pharmaceutical intermediates

  • Medical and clinical nutrition raw materials

They are commonly classified into:

  • Essential Amino Acids (EAA)

  • Non-Essential Amino Acids

  • Conditionally Essential Amino Acids

  • Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA)
