Uses and synthesis of DL-Methionine powder

DL-Methionine powder is a white flake crystal or crystalline powder. It has a special smell. Slightly sweet. Optical inactivity. Stable to heat and air. It is unstable to strong acids and can lead to demethylation. Soluble in water, dilute acid and dilute solution. Extremely insoluble in ethanol and almost insoluble in ether. DL-Methionine can be prepared in a variety of ways. The most common method is through chemical synthesis. Specifically, DL-methionine can be produced by acylation of alanine followed by a reduction reaction.

Applications/Functions of DL-Methionine powder

• DL-Methionine powder is used as a nutritional fortifier in feed to compensate for amino acid balance. Lack of methionine in livestock and poultry can cause stunting, weight loss, weakened liver and kidney function, muscle atrophy, and fur deterioration.
• DL-Methionine is suitable for the treatment of liver diseases and poisonings such as arsenic or benzene, and can also be used to treat dysentery and malnutrition caused by protein deficiency after chronic infectious diseases
• DL-Methionine can be used as a biochemical reagent for biochemical research. For use in the culture of mixed isomers labeled mammalian and insect cells.

Physicochemical Property of DL-Methionine powder

White crystalline powder with a peculiar odor of sulfur compounds, slightly sweet. Soluble in water, dilute acid and dilute alkali, insoluble in ethanol, ether and other organic solvents. The pH of 1% aqueous solution is 5.6 ~ 6.1. Stable to heat and air, unstable to strong acids.

Production methodprocess of DL-Methionine powder

DL-Methionine powder was synthesized from acrolein.
