Instant BBCA
Instant BCAA (2:1:1) (CAS Numbers: 61-90-5, 73-32-5, 72-18-4) Supplier in Europe
Physical Details and Properties
Instant BCAA (2:1:1) is a blend of three essential branched-chain amino acids—L-Leucine (CAS: 61-90-5, C₆H₁₃NO₂, MW 131.17 g/mol), L-Isoleucine (CAS: 73-32-5, C₆H₁₃NO₂, MW 131.17 g/mol), and L-Valine (CAS: 72-18-4, C₅H₁₁NO₂, MW 117.15 g/mol)—in a 2:1:1 ratio. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slightly bitter taste. BCAAs are sparingly soluble in water (Leucine: 2.15 g/100ml, Isoleucine: 3.44 g/100ml, Valine: 8.85 g/100ml at 20°C), insoluble in ethanol, and stable under normal conditions. The blend has a relative density of approximately 1.2–1.3 and is formulated for rapid dissolution in liquids.
Production Methods
At SoleChem EU, we source Instant BCAA (2:1:1) from leading manufacturers who produce L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine via microbial fermentation of carbohydrates (e.g., corn or sugarcane) using genetically engineered bacteria like Corynebacterium glutamicum. The amino acids are extracted, purified through ion-exchange chromatography, crystallized, and blended in a 2:1:1 ratio to ensure high purity and instant solubility for dietary supplements.
Industrial Applications
Instant BCAA (2:1:1) is widely used in nutritional and pharmaceutical industries:
-
Sports Nutrition: Promotes muscle protein synthesis, reduces muscle soreness, and enhances recovery post-exercise, particularly Leucine’s role in activating mTOR pathways.
-
Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into powders, beverages, and tablets to support muscle growth and reduce exercise-induced fatigue.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Used in clinical nutrition to prevent muscle wasting in patients with chronic illnesses or during recovery.
Safety Information
Instant BCAA (2:1:1) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for dietary use, with oral-rat LD50 values of >5000 mg/kg for all three amino acids. Excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or, in rare cases, increased ammonia levels. Individuals with maple syrup urine disease should avoid BCAAs due to potential DNA damage from impaired metabolism. Handle with standard precautions, store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat, and keep out of reach of children.
