DL-Methionine Usage and Synthesis:

DL-Methionine is a white flaky crystal or crystalline powder. It has a special odor. Taste is slightly sweet. Melting point 281 degrees (decomposition). 10% aqueous solution pH 5.6-6.1. No spin. Stable to heat and air. Unstable to strong acid, can lead to demethylation. Soluble in water (3.3g/100ml, 25 degrees), dilute acid and dilute solution. Very insoluble in ethanol and almost insoluble in ether. Soluble in ether. It is used for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases and arsenic or benzene poisoning, and also for the treatment of malnutrition caused by protein deficiency after dysentery and chronic infectious diseases. D-configuration and L-configuration methionine have the same physiological effects and are mostly DL-configuration, so it is advantageous to manufacture by synthetic method. It is generally produced by reacting acrolein with methyl mercaptan.

Pharmacokinetics of DL-Methionine:

DL-Methionine is one of the essential amino acids in the human body and its deficiency can cause liver and kidney disorders. It is particularly important for the protection of liver function. Promotes hair and nail growth It also has detoxifying and muscle activity enhancing effects. Sea urchin flavor is related to methionine and can be formulated as a flavoring agent. It is also used in amino acid infusions and comprehensive amino acid preparations.

As a nutritional supplement. It has the same physiological effect as L-type methionine, but is less expensive (L-type is made from DL-type), so DL-methionine is generally used. In oats, rye It is a limiting amino acid in plant foods such as oats, rye, rice, corn, wheat, peanut flour, soybeans, potatoes, and spinach. It is added to these foods to improve the amino acid balance. Requirement The amount required varies with cystine intake. Click and learn more.

Clinical Application of DL-Methionine:

DL-Methionine is a feed fortification agent. Deficiency of methionine in livestock and poultry can cause stunting, weight loss, weakened liver and kidney function, muscle atrophy, and fur deterioration. Methionine Methionine is one of the essential amino acids for the growth of livestock animals, and is an important structure for protein biosynthesis. It is widely used in the fields of medicine, food, feed and cosmetics. In medicine, it can be used as the main component of amino acid infusion and compound amino acid, and also used to synthesize medicinal In the food industry, it is used for the fortification of amino acids in food and the processing of food health products, and can be used as nutritional supplements. In food industry, it is used for amino acid fortification of food and processing of food health products.
