Evonik starts construction of the world's first methionine dipeptide plant

September 12, 2014, Evonik held a groundbreaking ceremony in Antwerp, Belgium, to celebrate the start of the first plant for the production of the AQUAVI ® Met-MetThe product is composed of two methionine molecules dipeptides, mainly as shrimp and other aquatic products such as crustacean culture feed additivesThe investment is in the range of 10 million eurosDEQ
Commercial products will be put into production in the second half of 2015Evonik customers can now apply samples for joint researchFeed quality has been studied in pilot plants around the worldDEQ
DrEmmanuel Auer, head of animal nutrition at Evowerp, said: "Adding high-efficiency methionine feed is beneficial in shrimp and crustacean fish farming, and now we can offer tailor-made solutions to customers who produce such products"
DEQaquaVI®Met-Met can significantly reduce the consumption of fishmeal in shrimp farming, thereby reducing feed costs and reducing pressure on fisheries around the worldIt can reduce pollution and nitrogen-containing waste emissions from culture, contribute to water quality improvement, and provide the best nutrition for animals, maintaintheted shrimp health and reduce environmental pollutionDEQ
　　The water solubility of methiopeptides is much lower than that of other sources of methionine, so it is not dissolved and destroyed as quickly as feed As a result, shrimp can be fed slowly at the bottom of the sea and absorbed enough methionine Their enzymes can also break down AQUAVI ® Met-Met into two separate methionine molecules, so that free amino acids can be used efficiently and accurately to synthesize proteins and grow animals DEQ
　　"AQUAVI ®Met-Met is not only an innovation of the methionine source for shrimp, but also the world's first industrialscale production and economically viable dipeptides in animal nutrition," said Dr Christoph Kobler, product manager at aquaVI ®Met-Me "
deQ aquaculture continues to grow globally and it is expected that by early 2015, 50 per cent of the aquatic products from fish, crustaceans and shellfish will come from aquaculture In the production of MetAMINO ® and DLMethionine for AquacultureTM, Evonik has been a global market leader in fish feed amino acids, particularly in salmon feed (salmon, trout) AquaVI ® methionine will open up the methionine used in shrimp and crustaceans Used in other animals will follow AquaVI ® Met - Met will initially be used for shrimp and crustaceans, and other species will follow DEQ
　　Evonik is the only company in the world that produces and sells four of the most important amino acids for feeding Its amino acid products include: Biolys ® (L-Lysine), MetAMINO ® (DL-methine), Mepron ® (DL-ruminant methionine), DL-AquacultureTM methionine, ThreAMINO ® (L-Sunine), and TrypAMINO ® (L-trypine) As a solution provider, Evonik group also provides customers with comprehensive professional advice, customized services and other support, all amino acid products of the global sales organization DEQ september 12, 2014, Evonik held a groundbreaking ceremony in Antwerp, Belgium, to celebrate the start of the first plant for the production of aquaVI®Met-Met The product is composed of two methionine molecules dipeptides, mainly as shrimp and other aquatic products such as crustacean culture feed additives The investment is in the range of 10 million euros DEQ
