AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional methods struggle to effectively reduce the content of L-cysteinyl-L-glycine impurities in glutathione, which are known to generate free radicals and pose safety concerns, particularly in pharmaceutical and food applications where impurity levels need to be below 0.05%.

Method used

A method involving the use of a cation exchange resin with a high crosslinking degree to adsorb and remove L-cysteinyl-L-glycine from an aqueous solution containing reduced glutathione, followed by precipitation and collection of the crystal.

Benefits of technology

The method achieves a crystal of reduced glutathione with significantly reduced L-cysteinyl-L-glycine content, along with other impurities, meeting stringent safety standards for pharmaceutical and food applications.
