L-lysine hydrochloride is a stable salt formed by L-lysine and hydrochloric acid (chemical formula C₆H₁₄N₂O₂・HCl). L-lysine itself is an essential amino acid for the human body (it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through food). The hydrochloride form greatly improves its water solubility and stability, and it is widely used in food, feed and other fields. It is a core raw material that combines nutritional supplementation and functionality.
Chemical Composition: A single chemical substance, with commercial products typically having a purity ≥98.5% (food grade). It is formed by the protonation reaction of L-lysine (a basic amino acid) and hydrochloric acid, retaining the nutritional activity of L-lysine while improving its physicochemical properties.
Physical Properties: At room temperature, it is a white crystalline powder or crystalline powder, odorless or with a slightly characteristic odor, and a slightly bitter taste; it is extremely soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol ; its melting point is approximately 263-264℃, exhibiting good thermal stability and not easily decomposed under conventional food processing and health product preparation temperatures.
Chemical Properties: It is weakly acidic (aqueous solution pH approximately 5.0-6.0), highly stable, and not easily oxidized or degraded in acidic or neutral environments; it is resistant to baking and sterilization; it has good compatibility with proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and other components, is unlikely to cause adverse reactions, and can stably exist in various product systems.

Food and Health Products Sector
Fortified Foods: Used in infant formula, children's growth milk powder, school meals, and elderly foods to enhance amino acid nutrition, supporting growth and development and promoting health in the elderly, compensating for the deficiency of lysine in natural foods.
Functional Health Products: Used as a core ingredient in amino acid supplements, protein powder, immune-modulating health products, and sports nutrition supplements, providing rapid nutritional replenishment for fitness enthusiasts, post-operative recovery groups, and those with weakened immunity, promoting muscle synthesis and body repair.
Regular Foods: Added to bread, biscuits, pastries, beverages, and condiments to enhance the nutritional value of food and improve the amino acid profile of protein, resulting in a more balanced diet.
Feed Sector
Livestock and Poultry Feed: Widely used in feed for pigs, chickens, ducks, and other livestock and poultry as an amino acid fortifier, improving the amino acid balance of feed, increasing feed conversion rate, promoting livestock and poultry growth and development, and increasing slaughter weight and product quality (such as meat and egg quality).
Aquatic Feed: Used in aquaculture feed for fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., supplementing essential lysine for aquatic animals, enhancing immunity, reducing mortality, promoting growth rate, and increasing the yield and size of aquatic products.
Other Applications:
Cosmetics: Used in skincare and haircare products as a nutrient to promote collagen synthesis, improve skin elasticity and radiance, while nourishing the scalp and strengthening hair. Suitable for anti-aging and repairing daily chemical products.
Biosynthesis: Used as an organic synthesis intermediate in the synthesis of peptides, biological reagents, enzyme preparations, etc., with significant application value in biochemical engineering and scientific research.
Nutritional Essentiality and Clear Function: As one of the eight essential amino acids for the human body, it participates in key physiological processes such as protein synthesis, immunoglobulin production, and collagen synthesis. It plays a vital role in growth and development (children and adolescents), immunity enhancement, and tissue repair (post-surgery, trauma), making it an irreplaceable nutritional supplement.
Excellent Stability and Compatibility: The hydrochloride form solves the problems of poor water solubility and easy oxidation of free L-lysine. It is highly water-soluble and easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. It is resistant to processing and storage, suitable for various processes such as food baking, beverage sterilization, and feed pelleting, and is highly compatible with various raw material systems.
High Safety and Strong Compliance: Naturally found in meat, eggs, beans, and other foods, its artificial synthesis (fermentation and chemical synthesis methods) are mature, resulting in high product purity and few impurities. It complies with the food fortification and health product raw material standards of most countries and regions worldwide, including GB 14880, FDA, and EFSA. When used within the prescribed dosage, it is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and has excellent biocompatibility.
