1. Introduction of l-serine 

L-serine, with its CAS no. 56-45-1, has other names like (S)-2-Amino-3-hydroxypropanoic acid and so on. Besides, with is EINECS registry number of 200-274-3, it has its chemical formula of C₃H7NO₃ and molecular weight of 105.09. In normal temperature and pressure, this chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, but it is freely soluble in water. As to its storage, you should keep in a cool, dry area, away from heat and light.

When comes to its usage, l-serine could be used in many different fields. This chemical could be applied in medicine, which is very important in functioning in brain and central nervous systems; It could also be used in the treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS). What is more, this chemical is used in the involvement of muscle formation, RNA and DNA function, fat and fatty acid metabolism, and so on.

Besides, we want to say the production of l-serine. One big l-serine manufacturer - Guangde Keyuan Chemical Company Ltd. is a leading producer in China, and it has its capacity of L-Serine 500T per annum.

2. About how to make l-serine, three are different l-serine Production Methods:

1). The first l-serine process is as below: L-serine could be extracted from the biological material, such as silk.
2). Another l-serine manufacturing process is the chemical synthesis. L-serine can be produced from the raw material of glycolaldehyde and vinyl-compounds.
3). The third l-serine manufacturing method: In alkaline condition, prepare the raw materials of DL-Serine and Chloroacetyl chloride, and then go through the process of decompression & drying and extract by ethyl acetate; Finally, have activated carbontreatment and acylase resolution to achieve final products l-serine.
