Product details
DL-Alanine powder is white crystalline solid powder at room temperature and pressure. It is the basic unit of protein and one of the 21 amino acids that make up human protein. DL-Alanine is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, but insoluble in ether or acetone. Dl-alanine is related to glucose metabolism and is a very important bioactive substance. DL-Alanine has a special sweetness, sweeter than sand sugar, 1.6 times as sweet as glycine, is one of the sweetest amino acids. Alanine is a non-essential amino acid to the human body, but it can produce reversible transformation of pyruvate, related to sugar metabolism, and is a very important substance in physiological processes. Mainly used as a food additive, can be used alone, can also be made with sodium glutamate and other compound condiments, single application is mainly as a pickles and sweet sauce pickling additives. DL-Alanine powder is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
Applications and Functions of DL-Alanine powder
DL-Alanine powder is used in biochemical studies, as a diagnostic agent in medicine, and for the determination of alanine aminotransferase activity in liver function tests.Difference from L-Alanine.
L-Alanine is a common form of alanine in nature and a basic building block of protein. The human body mainly uses L-Alanine for important physiological processes such as protein synthesis and glucose production. The functions of L-Alanine have been introduced in detail in the "Overview of L-Alanine" you asked about before.
D-Alanine is a mirror image molecule of L-Alanine. Although it is not commonly used in protein synthesis (it exists in bacterial cell walls and some peptide antibiotics), it also has certain physiological activities in the human body. For example, it may be involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters.
Production methodprocess of DL-Alanine powder
It is synthesized by chemical method. DL-Alanine was obtained by hydrolysis of acetaldehyde, ammonium chloride and sodium cyanide with hydrochloric acid.
