1 INTRODUCTION L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in various biological processes in both animals and humans (Kałużna-Czaplińska et al., 2019; Yao et al., 2011). It serves as a building block for proteins while also serving as a precursor for the synthesis of vital molecules such as serotonin, melatonin, and niacin. These molecules have essential functions within the body and are involved in the regulation of mood, sleep, and other physiological processes.
