IN THE NEWSOn September 7, 2017, the research conducted by Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) and researchers at Aarhus University Hospital have concluded that leucine-rich whey protein was superior in preserving muscle protein as compared to soy protein for preventing muscle loss during fasting-induced catabolic conditions.
Leucine is a type of essential amino acid that can’t be produced by humans themselves and can only be obtained through diet. It is one of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and can be used to prepare amino acid transfusion and synthesized amino acid injection, hypoglycemic agent, and plant growth-promoting agent. Leucine is used as an important component in sports nutrition and dietary supplements to increase energy and enhance endurance. It is very essential in the synthesis of muscle. Hence, people engaging in high strength physical activities and obtaining a low protein diet consider leucine as a nutritional supplement. Leucine is often considered preferable over other branched-chain amino acids as it is broken down and absorbed more rapidly.
Increasing requirement of leucine-based supplements by bodybuilders and sportspersons indulging in heavy exercise, owing to its powerful effects on muscle gaining, as well as the application of leucine as a food additive and lubricant in food and pharmaceutical industries respectively, are some of the significant factors anticipated to boost the market growth. The leucine market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2021-2029. The market is segmented by end user into food & beverages, pharmaceutical, agriculture & animal feed, cosmetics & health care products, and others.
