Description
COA-BACKED NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENT
L-Glutamic Acid for B2B Formulation
L-Glutamic Acid is supplied as a single-entity amino acid for B2B nutrition, beverage and supplement formulation. The purchasing definition is the declared assay, the impurity profile and the physical form rather than a botanical identity.

Buyer Decision Guide
L-Glutamic Acid is specified on assay, specific rotation or chiral purity where relevant, and on heavy metal and microbiological limits. Confirm which of these your finished-product specification actually controls before approving a grade.
- Confirm assay basis and analytical method
- Check the salt or free-form identity: L-Glutamic Acid
- Review specific rotation or chiral purity if applicable
- Confirm heavy metal and microbiological limits
How This Grade Differs
L-Glutamic Acid is a single-entity amino acid. It is not interchangeable with the racemic or salt form of the same molecule, and not with a plant extract that merely contains it. Compare assay basis, salt form and impurity profile when substituting.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the COA be matched to the lot you ship?
Yes. The certificate is issued for the shipped lot, which is the batch LXGT260428 referenced on the specification.
What do you declare for moisture and ash?
Both are released against the limits on the approved specification; the measured result for your lot appears on its COA.
Is the mesh size fixed or adjustable?
Standard supply is 98% through 80 mesh, and alternative cuts can be agreed in the written specification.
Is the declared percentage a specification limit or a measured result?
The specification figure is 98.5%-101.5% on dried basis; the measured result for your lot is reported separately on its COA.
How do you control related substances?
Related substances are integrated on the same HPLC run used for the 98.5%-101.5% on dried basis assay.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
What is the usual lead time?
Regular production normally takes 7-15 working days after deposit, depending on stock, volume, testing and customisation requirements.
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
