The manufacturing process involved a fermentation reaction. Firstly, into a mixing reactor, glucose, ammonia, growth factor, and minerals are added. Secondly, the fermentation process occurred and followed by separation and concentration crystallization. This process yielded a crude crystal which was then decolorized. The mixture was then dried into crystal powder to yield the desired product, which was L-Glutamine.
