Uses and synthesis of β-Alanine powder

β-Alanine is named beta-Alanine in English, also known as 3-amino-propionic acid, molecular formula is C3H7NO2, molecular weight is 89.09, CAS registration number is 107-95-9, β-Alanine is a white prismatic crystal, mainly used to synthesize pantothenic acid and calcium pantothenate, carnosine, pamidronate sodium, balsalazine, etc. It is widely used in medicine, feed, food and other fields. β-Alanine powder is a non-essential amino acid; it is the only naturally occurring β-amino acid. In nature, it can exist in free state in the root nodules of legumes, in tea leaves, brain hydrolysates of mammals, and in tobacco leaves and smoke. It usually works with histidine to produce carnosine, which is stored in our skeletal muscles.

Applications/Functions of β-Alanine powder

• β-Alanine powder is mainly used for the synthesis of pantothenic acid and calcium pantothenate, carnosine, pamidronate sodium, balsalazine, etc., and is widely used in medicine, feed, food and other fields. It is also used as corrosion inhibitor and biochemical reagent for electroplating.
• β-Alanine is mainly used as a raw material for the synthesis of calcium pantothenate in medicine and feed additives, and can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor for electroplating, as a biological reagent and an intermediate for organic synthesis. Used as food, health additives.

Physicochemical Property of β-Alanine powder

β-Alanine powder is also known as β-amino-propionic acid, 3-amino-propionic acid. White diamond shaped crystal or powder. Molecular weight 89.09. Melting point 200℃(decomposition). The relative density is 1.437. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol, insoluble in ether and acetone. Beta-alanine is non-toxic, but contact with eyes and skin should be avoided and is slightly hazardous to water. Avoid contact with strong oxidants.

Production methodprocess of β-Alanine powder

Acrylonitrile reacts with ammonia in diphenylamine and tert-butanol solution to form β-aminopropionitrile, which is then alkalized to obtain β-Alanine.
