Chemicals
The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Shikimic acid manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Shikimic acid production, including the cost of Shikimic acid production, Shikimic acid plant cost, Shikimic acid production costs, and the overall Shikimic acid manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Shikimic acid production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.
Shikimic acid is an organic compound found in plants and microorganisms that is a key component in the production of aromatic amino acids and other essential compounds. Its primary application in the pharmaceutical industry is its use as a raw material in the production of the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu), which can also be converted into an antibiotic. Shikimic acid is used as a building block to produce industrial chemicals and aromatic amino acids. Also, it acts as an exfoliating agent for the skin, thus useful in the personal care and skin care industries.
The shikimate pathway, which involves shikimic acid, is targeted by herbicides like glyphosate, highlighting the importance of shikimic acid in the agricultural sector. It also plays a critical role in biochemical research as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds. Shikimic acid also has potential applications in the food and beverage industry as a flavoring agent. The development of a more efficient and cost-effective method for shikimic acid production by fermentation, compared to extracting it from natural sources, makes it more accessible for different applications.
A wide range of applications drives the industrial Shikimic acid demand. The primary factor behind its procurement is the increasing need for antiviral drugs, particularly oseltamivir (Tamiflu), which is used to treat influenza. Shikimic acid as a chiral building block leads to its growing demand for advancements in pharmaceutical research. The expanding cosmetics and personal care industry has also contributed to the increasing demand for shikimic acid, as it is used in various dermo-cosmetic preparations.
Improvements in fermentation technologies and genetic engineering of microorganisms to overproduce shikimic acid have made the biological production route more sustainable and cost-effective compared to plant-based extraction. In summary, the modifications in its demand to produce antiviral drugs, the growth of the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and the limited availability of natural sources, along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influence industrial Shikimic acid procurement around the globe.
Raw Material for Shikimic Acid Production
According to the Shikimic acid manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Shikimic acid include Escherichia coli bacteria, nutrients (for bacterial growth), chemicals, and reagents.
Manufacturing Process of Shikimic Acid
The extensive Shikimic acid production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:
- From Escherichia coli bacteria, nutrients, chemicals, and reagents: Manufacturing of shikimic acid is done by using a microbial fermentation process that includes several steps. At first E. coli bacteria is genetically modified so that it overproduces certain enzymes that are important for making shikimic acid, like DAHP synthase and shikimate dehydrogenase. Modified E. coli bacteria are then grown in large fermentation tanks with controlled nutrients, pH, temperature, and oxygen levels. After fermentation, shikimic acid is separated and purified from all the other compounds using chromatography. Shikimic acid is then concentrated and crystallized to obtain the final high-purity product.
Shikimic acid is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 186°C and has a molecular weight of 174.15 g/mol. It is highly soluble in DMSO and can also be dissolved in ethanol and water. The compound has a density of 1.52 g/cm³ at 27.2°C, which is relatively high compared to many organic molecules. Shikimic acid is a cyclohexene carboxylic acid with three hydroxyl groups, giving it a distinct stereochemical configuration; this unique structure contributes to its diverse applications in various industries.
