L-Walina

L-Valine is an essential amino acid that belongs to the branched-chain amino acids, along with isoleucine and leucine. L-Valine, offered by Foodcom S.A., is a highly purified amino acid produced by fermentation and contains at least 98% valine on a dry weight basis. Valine has the chemical formula C₅H₁₁NO₂, a molecular weight of 117.15, and is the L-isomer (levorotatory). It is characterized by high purity (minimum 98%) and low moisture content (maximum 1.5%). It is soluble in water at a concentration of 5.30 to 5.70 g/100 g of water at 20°C, and its melting/decomposition point is 298°C.

The product is stable for at least 2 years when stored under recommended conditions.

L-Valina is packed in 25 kg Kraft paper bags with a single layer PE liner, 500 kg PP woven bags and 800 kg PP woven bags, all with a PE liner

L-Valine is widely used in animal nutrition, especially in low-protein diets. It is a limiting amino acid, especially important in pig nutrition, right after lysine, threonine, methionine and tryptophan. Adding valine to the diet of growing pigs allows for the full use of the growth potential of modern pig genotypes with high protein quality requirements, while contributing to the reduction of nitrogen emissions. Valine is also a key ingredient in poultry feed, ensuring optimal growth and development. Thanks to its properties, L-Valine is an indispensable ingredient in feed in modern agriculture, supporting animal health and performance.
