Cysteine is a sulfur containing amino acid that derives its uniqueness from chemically reactive hydroxyl group. It provides stability to proteins through building disulfide bridges. It is primarily obtained from feathers. Feathers are heated with hydrochloric acid to obtain cysteine. It is also extracted from bristles, human hair and hooves of swine. It has the similar structure as that of serine, but with one of its oxygen-atom is substituted by sulfur. It is mainly used in the production of cysteine derivatives S-(carboxymethyl)-L-cysteine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also employed as processing supplementary for refolding genetically engineered protein active molecules, such as it is used in the production of human insulin. Additionally, it is used as anti-aging agent in the cosmetic industry. Cysteine has various applications for instance it is used in the production of flavors, used for flouting up the disulfide bonds in the hair’s keratin, also in the field of personal care.
According to study, “Global Cysteine Market Status (2015-2019) and Forecast (2020-2024) by Region, Product Type & End-Use” the key companies operating in the global cysteine market are Ajinomoto North America Inc., Donboo Amino Acid Co. Ltd, CJ Haide, Merck KGaA, Nippon Rika Industries Corporation, Ningbo Zhenhai Haide Biochem Co. Ltd, Shine Star (Hubei) Biological Engineering Co. Ltd., Wuhan Grand Hoyo Co.
