Uses and synthesis of DL-Serine powder

DL-Serine powder, also known as 2-amino-3-hydroxy-propionic acid, β-hydroxy-alanine, and hydroxy-amino-propionic acid, is an aliphatic neutral amino acid containing hydroxyl group, which is polar but not charged and is a non-essential amino acid for human body. DL-Serine is a non-luminescent, white crystalline powder soluble in water and alcohol solvents. It can be formed by transmethylation of glycine, can also be deammoniated into pyruvate or hydroxypyruvate, and is also an important raw material for the synthesis of choline and cysteine in the body. Because of its special wettability, DL-Serine is used as a cosmetic additive for cream (moisturizer) to maintain the moisture of the cuticle and maintain the softness of the skin; Food additive, used as a nutritional supplement; Pharmaceutical raw materials and infusion.

Applications/Functions of DL-Serine powder

1. DL-Serine powder is used for biochemical research, preparation of tissue medium, and medicinal use as amino acid nutritional drug.
2. DL-Serine plays an important physiological role in living organisms. It is a constituent element for the synthesis of many proteins, especially fibrin, which plays an important role in tissue repair and growth and development.

Physicochemical Property of DL-Serine powder

Colorless monoclinic columnar or flake crystal, soluble in water (solubility in 20℃ water is 380g/L), insoluble in ether and anhydrous ethanol; pI5.68, the decomposition point is 246℃.

Production methodprocess of DL-Serine powder

DL-Serine powder is prepared by the complexation of glycine catalyzed by copper ion and then combined with formaldehyde under alkaline conditions, then acidified, ion exchanged and crystallized in ethanol.
