What is glutathione?
Reduced glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide compound that is formed by the condensation of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine through a peptide bond. GSH is chemically named γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, and its structural formula is shown in the figure provided. Unlike other peptides and proteins, It has a special peptide bond formed by the condensation of the γ-carboxyl group (-COOH) of glutamate with the α-amino group (-NH2) of cysteine.

Purity
(1) Clarity and color of solution— Dissolve 1.0 g of Glutathione in 10 mL of water: the solution is clear and colorless.
(2) Heavy metals <1.07>— Proceed with 2.0 g of Glutathione according to Method 2, and perform the test. Prepare the control solution with 2.0 mL of Standard Lead Solution (not more than 10 ppm).
(3) Arsenic <1.11>— Prepare the test solution with 1.0 g of Glutathione according to Method 1, and perform the test (not more than 2 ppm).
Testing Assay:
Weigh accurately about 0.5g L-Glutathione Powder of the substance to be examined, previously dried, dissolve in 50 mL of a solution of metaphosphoric acid (1 in 50), and titrate with 0.05mol/L iodine VS, add 1 mL of starch indicator when the endpoint approaches. Continue titration until the solution appears blue color. Carry out a blank titration in the same manner, and make any necessary correction. 1 mL of 0.05mol/L iodine is equivalent to 30.733 mg of C10H17N3O6S.
Calculate the percentage of glutathione (C10H17N3O6S) in the portion of glutathione taken:
Result = [(V-B) X N X F X 100] / W
V =titrant volume of the sample (ml)
B = titrant volume of the blank(ml)
N = titrant normality (mEq/ml)
F = equivalency factor, 307.33 mg/mEq
W =weight of the Sample(mg)
Acceptance criteria: not less than 98.0%
Product methods:
There are two main methods to produce L-Glutathione Powder, but Guanjie has adopted a new method, the enzymatic method, the pros and cons of which are seen below.
● Chemical synthesis method
Serious pollution, high cost, basically eliminated
● Fermentation method
Mainstream method, average cost, large amount of pollution
Currently outdated
● Enzyme method
Traditional method, high cost of ATP
New method, ATP regeneration, low cost, and less pollution
Process Advantages (Compared with Fermentation Method)
● Fast reaction speed and short production cycle: The reaction is completed in 1 day, while the fermentation method of L-Glutathione Powder takes at least 5 days with no interruptions during this time.
● High yield, easy to purify:
● The amount of enzymatic reaction is 30-50 g/L, and the reaction components are determined and easy to purify. Fermentation is about 10 g/L, the components are complicated, and the purification needs to use toxic substances.
● Green and environmentally friendly, in line with national development requirements:
● No heavy metals, toxic gases, and organic substances (except alcohol used in the crystallization process) are added.
● Less energy consumption, low cost:
● ATP is renewable, and it has low raw material and labor cost.
