Uses and synthesis of Glycine powder

Glycine powder is one with the simplest structure among the 20 members of the amino acid series. It is also known as amino acetic acid, which is an unnecessary amino acid for human body. It is soluble in water and easily miscible with other organic solvents. Glycine is weakly acidic and reacts with bases to form corresponding salts. Amino acetic acid has a certain volatility, so it can smell its special odor at room temperature. Glycine is commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor in metal working fluids to form a protective film with metal surfaces to reduce metal corrosion. Glycine powder can also be used in bleaching and dyeing processes for cellulose and textiles as a decolorizer and a stabilizer for reactive dyes.

Applications/Functions of Glycine powder

1. Glycine powder is used in pharmaceutical industry, biochemical tests and organic synthesis
2. Glycine is used as a buffer, for the preparation of tissue culture medium, for the examination of copper, gold and silver, and medically for the treatment of myasthenia gravis and progressive muscular atrophy, hyperacidity, chronic enteritis, hyperprolinemia in children and other diseases.
3. Glycine is mainly used as a nutritional additive in chicken feed.
4. Glycine powder is a reagent for the test of copper, gold, and silver. It is also used in pharmaceutical industry, biochemical research, preparation of tissue medium, nutritional supplements and so on.

Physicochemical Property of Glycine powder

White or light yellow acicular crystal. It's sweet. Soluble in water, lOOg anhydrous ethanol can dissolve about 0.06g of the product, soluble in 164 pyridine, almost insoluble in ether.

Production methodprocess of Glycine powder

Ammonia and ammonium carbonate are mixed and heated on a water bath, and an aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid is prepared, which is added to the mixture, and the mixture is heated and kept warm, and the crude product is obtained by cooling and crystallization. The crude product is dissolved in boiling water, methanol is added, and Glycine powder is obtained by crystallization
