 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Amino acids in the pharmaceutical and food industry trends Keywords:: amino acid medicine, food Amino acids are an important component of biological organisms, in the phenomena of life plays a vital role. With the advances in biological sciences, human body’s physiological function of biological and metabolic activities of the understanding of the important amino acids in vivo biological function has become clearer. Amino acids are the living organisms of the nutrition, survival and development is extremely important material, in the life of the body metabolism regulation, information transmission play an important role. The past 30 years, in research, development and application of amino acids in both made significant progress in the discovery of new types and quantities of amino acids in 50 species from 60 years or so, up to now has exceeded 400 kinds. In production, the 60 early amino acid production in the world’s only 10 million tons, has now leapt to 1 million tons, production value of Chaobaiyi U.S. dollars. But still falls far short of actual demand, according to experts predicted that by mid-2000, output is expected to reach 30 billion U.S. dollars. As a human nutrition additives, amino acids, flavoring agents, feed additives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc. in the food industry, agriculture, animal husbandry and human health, health care and many other has a wide range of applications. A function of amino acids Function of amino acids has aroused great interest, can be widely used in medicine, food, agriculture and animal husbandry fisheries, pesticides, cosmetics, health products and other fields. 1.1 amino acids in the medical application of Ross nitrogen balance on the establishment of the theory and the human proteins found in the normal metabolism of the lack of a certain kind of organization that will lead to the whole organism metabolic disorders, so that amino acids into the maintenance of human nutrition and tr
