Amino-Acid Adsorption in MFI-Type Zeolites Enabled by the pH-Dependent Ability to Displace Water

“…Amino acids are building blocks of life and are used in biotechnology and industry with a world market larger than 4 million tons per year and an annual growth of 5–8% . For example, the food industry uses phenylalanine for the production of synthetic sweeteners and glutamic acid for the production of flavor enhancers. , Other amino acids are used for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes. , Peptides and proteins consist of amino acids and play an important role in different application fields such as medicine and nutrition. − Products such as amino acids, peptides, and proteins are commonly produced biochemically. − However, downstream processing of biochemical streams can be very difficult due to the compound complexity and is often the most costly part of a biochemical process . Consequently, the development of efficient downstream processing is essential to reduce costs in biochemical production .…”
