The invention discloses a new process for producing D-
tryptophan by a chemical method and an enzymic method. The process is characterized in that the process comprises the following steps:
racemization, resolution, refining of N-acetyl-DL-
tryptophan,
hydrolysis, refining of D-
tryptophan hydrochloride, decomplexation, and treatment of
mother liquor. The process is characterized in that the production process with combination of the chemical method and the enzymic method comprises
racemization, resolution, refining and
hydrolysis of L-tryptophan and refining of D-tryptophan
hydrochloride, and D-tryptophan is obtained, and production efficiency is improved;
mother liquor generated in the synthesis process is condensed, cyclic utilization is carried out,
discharge capacity of the mother liquoris reduced, yield of the product is improved, and at the same time by-products are decomplexed and cyclic utilization is carried out, and waste of resource is reduced; in the synthesis process, wateris used as a
solvent, in order to solve the defect that organic matters are used as solvents in the conventional methods with safety and
environmental protection; extra racemase and resolving agentsare not needed to add, the process
route is short, and production process is simple.
