What is Amino Acid Powder?
Amino Acid Powder is a blended product containing a mixture of free amino acids produced through the controlled hydrolysis of protein sources, typically derived from plant materials (such as soybean) or animal by-products, depending on the specific product and intended application. Rather than a single defined chemical compound, it represents a complex mixture of amino acids including glycine, alanine, glutamic acid, and various others, with the specific profile depending on the source protein and hydrolysis process used.
Polychem Industries supplies Amino Acid Powder in agricultural grade and animal feed grade to biostimulant formulators, fertiliser companies, and animal feed manufacturers across India and internationally. Amino acids play important roles as biostimulants in modern crop nutrition programmes, supporting plant stress tolerance, nutrient uptake efficiency, and overall plant metabolism, while also serving as valuable protein-building blocks in animal nutrition.
Available Grades
| Grade | Form | Purity | Standard | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Grade | Light brown to tan free-flowing powder | 40–80% total amino acid content (grade dependent) | Agricultural / Biostimulant | Foliar fertilisers, biostimulants, soil application |
| Animal Feed Grade | Tan to brown powder | 40–65% amino acid content | Animal Feed | Livestock and poultry feed supplementation |
Applications & Uses
Agricultural Biostimulants
The primary growing application. Amino Acid Powder is used as a key active ingredient in biostimulant products, supporting plant stress tolerance, chlorophyll synthesis, hormone production, and overall metabolic activity, particularly valuable during periods of environmental stress such as drought, heat, or transplant shock.
Foliar Fertiliser Formulations
Used in foliar fertiliser blends, often combined with micronutrients, where amino acids can enhance nutrient uptake and translocation within the plant, supporting more efficient utilisation of co-applied nutrients.
Soil Application & Biofertilisers
Used in soil-applied biofertiliser and soil conditioner products, where amino acids can support beneficial soil microbial activity and contribute to improved soil health and nutrient cycling.
Animal Feed Supplementation
Animal Feed Grade Amino Acid Powder is used as a protein and amino acid supplement in livestock and poultry feed formulations, supporting animal growth, health, and feed conversion efficiency.
Stress Recovery & Crop Establishment
Used to support crop recovery following stress events such as transplanting, frost damage, or pesticide application, helping plants more quickly resume normal metabolic and growth activity.
Fruit Quality & Yield Enhancement
Used in fruit and horticultural crop production programmes aimed at improving fruit quality, size, and yield through enhanced plant metabolic support during critical growth and fruiting stages.
