Chelated amino acids: biomass sources, preparation, properties, and biological activities

Abstract Micronutrients such as Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn are required metals for plant crops to increase their yield quality. Metals included in numerous biochemical reactions enzymes, co-enzymes, co-factors. Copper, zinc, manganese essential the development growth of animal pigs broiler chicks. Amino acids significant importance used many applications, fields, industries food, feed, supplement, pharmaceutical production, biofertilizers. Fertilizers inorganic mineral structure hardly diffused from leaf surface into plant, while chelated minerals with amino provide a great advantage increasing absorption efficiency translocation within plant. Also, it was known that derivatives free or have marked antioxidant activity able inhibit tumor tissues leading immune protective abilities organisms. Nanotechnology increased application metal-amino acid complexes. Using nano fertilizers plants is one critical due unique properties size areas. It released nutrients on demand regulates (such wheat, rice, barley, rapeseed plants). Metal chelating complexes found extensive applications various fields human interest. Chelators medical applications; water softeners ingredients commercial products shampoos food preservatives control heavy metal pollution aquacultures. may be separately chelation process can separated wastes. by hydrolysis agricultural crop wastes thrones tomato sugar beet plants. origin leather chicken feather waste whey cow milk after mozzarella cheese formation. So, production decreases cost metal-chelated complex
