Taurine CAS 107-35-7

Taurine is supplied as a functional amino sulfonic acid, widely used in food, feed, and nutraceutical formulations where specific physiological or formulation roles are required. It is not a proteinogenic amino acid but is commonly incorporated as a functional ingredient in formulated systems.

In industrial supply chains, Taurine is used in energy drinks, dietary supplements, animal nutrition (especially pet food and aquaculture), and certain technical formulations. It is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder suitable for blending and dissolution in aqueous systems. Standard export packaging, bulk supply, and documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support procurement and formulation development.

Packaging

Taurine is typically supplied as a crystalline powder packed in moisture-resistant bags or fiber drums with inner liners to protect against humidity and contamination. Packaging is designed for safe handling and stable storage during transport. Packaging formats can be arranged based on order volume and logistics requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and contamination. Avoid exposure to humid environments and maintain packaging integrity during storage and transportation.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    What is Taurine CAS 107-35-7?

    A: Taurine is 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, an amino sulfonic acid rather than a protein-forming amino acid. It has the molecular formula C2H7NO3S, a molecular weight of 125.15 g/mol, and is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder.
  • Q:

    Is Taurine the same as a normal amino acid?

    A: Not exactly. Taurine is classified as a conditionally essential amino sulfonic acid and is not incorporated into proteins. It plays important physiological roles in bile salt conjugation, osmoregulation, and cell membrane stabilization.
  • Q:

    What are the main uses of Taurine?

    A: Taurine is widely used in energy drinks, sports nutrition, dietary supplements, infant formula, and other functional foods. It is also added to pet food and aquaculture feed, and used in selected pharmaceutical and biochemical applications.
  • Q:

    What grade and typical specification is Taurine supplied in?

    A: It is available in food, feed, pharmaceutical, and industrial grades, with high-grade material commonly around 99% purity. Typical specifications describe a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water, odorless, and stable under normal storage conditions.
  • Q:

    How should Taurine powder be stored?

    A: Store Taurine in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Moisture-protected packaging should remain intact to prevent clumping or contamination during storage and transport.
