Glycine Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Aminoacetic Acid
- Glycocoll
- E640
- Aminoethanoic Acid
Glycine supplier for food, feed, pharmaceutical and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called aminoacetic acid, glycocoll and E640, glycine is the simplest amino acid (CAS 56-40-6, formula C2H5NO2), supplied as bulk white crystalline powder for commercial formulation and process use.
Commercial grades cover food-grade glycine for seasoning and flavour systems, feed-grade material for animal-feed premixes, pharmaceutical or nutrition grades for formulated products, and technical grades for buffering, synthesis and metal treatment. Pack format and exact assay are confirmed against the enquiry.
Food manufacturers use glycine as a flavour enhancer in savoury systems, while feed formulators dose crystalline glycine into livestock premixes. Suitable grades also serve pharmaceutical and nutraceutical preparations and selected industrial process chemistries.
Send the required grade, specification or assay, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Glycine grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-grade glycine | white crystalline powder | ≥ 98.5% | Flavour enhancement, seasoning systems and other food formulations where a food-suitable glycine grade and specification are required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed-grade glycine | white crystalline powder | — | Amino acid addition in animal-feed premixes and livestock rations where glycine is specified by the nutritionist or premix formulator. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical-grade glycine | white crystalline powder | — | Raw material for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and medical-nutrition formulations that call for a defined high-purity glycine grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade glycine | white crystalline powder | — | Buffering, chemical synthesis, metal treatment and other industrial processes that do not require food or pharmaceutical documentation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture to limit caking. Control dust during powder handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about glycine
Is glycine the same as aminoacetic acid or E640?
Yes. Glycine is also known as aminoacetic acid, glycocoll and aminoethanoic acid. In food labelling it is identified as E640. State the intended use and grade in the enquiry, because food, feed and pharmaceutical buyers work to different specifications.
Is glycine the same as glycine betaine or glycerine?
No. Glycine is the simplest amino acid (CAS 56-40-6). Glycine betaine (trimethylglycine) is a different product, and glycerine (glycerol) is a polyol, not an amino acid. Request glycine by name and grade so the correct material is quoted.
Which glycine grade should I request?
Food-grade material is used in seasoning and flavour systems. Feed grade suits premix and ration fortification. Pharmaceutical or nutrition grades are selected for formulated medicines and supplements, while technical grade covers industrial buffering, synthesis and metal treatment. Describe the application so the suitable grade can be quoted.
What form is commercial glycine usually supplied in?
Bulk glycine is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. Confirm the preferred pack format and any particle-size or handling needs with the quotation rather than assuming a fixed pack size.
What specification details should a buyer provide?
Include the grade, required assay or purity, any moisture or impurity limits, pack preference, quantity and delivery location. For an existing formulation, attach the current specification so the quote can be matched more closely.
What details are needed for a glycine price enquiry?
Provide the grade, specification or assay target, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred packing, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
