Amino acids

Equipment

Analyzing amino acids is very complex. That’s why you need special equipment. NutriControl owns high end, top of the line equipment for analyzing amino acids. We can detect amino acids that are present in the protein or free amino acids.

Reactive Lysine 

NutriControl is also able to determine the amount of reactive lysine, as guidance for the availability for amino acids.  Under influence of heat, moisture and availability of sugars and aldehydes there is a possibility that a maillard effect occurs. This effect makes amino acids less available. Especially lysine is sensitive for the maillard effect because it’s a free amino acid.
