Abstract: The invention refers to an improved process for producing
methionine where the by-product methionyl-methionine is
quickly converted to the product methionine by a hydrolysis
reaction. The invention is characterized in that the
reaction is performed at high temperatures (200°C to 280°C)
and short residence times (20 s bis 200 s). The process is
suited to increase the final yield of the desired end
product methionine during a process for producing
methionine. 
     Because of the higher temperatures significantly higher
space-time yields can be achieved, whereby the economic
efficiency of the process described by this invention can
be guaranteed.
