Amino acids and peptides are essential components in the biochemical industry. The final products are employed in a wide range of applications and are often synthesized by fermentation and purified in a complex downstream process. One possible separation step is using an additional solvent to lower the solubility of the desired product and, thus, promote the crystallization of the particular component. Therefore, it is crucial to have accurate knowledge of the solubility of these components. In this work, the solubilities of 20 proteinogenic amino acids and 21 peptides in aqueous 2-propanol solutions were gravimetrically determined. Additionally, the pH values of the saturated liquid phases were measured and the crystal structures of solid crystals were analysed using X-ray diffraction. The anti-solvent 2-propanol caused a decrease in the solubilities of the amino acids and peptides upon increasing its mass fraction. Exceptions were found for amino acids with aromatic substituents, l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine. The solubility of 15 amino acids and 18 peptides was successfully modelled using the equation of state PC-SAFT that used recently determined melting properties of the amino acids and peptides as input data.
