Properties and Usage:
L-glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid, is widely found in nature, especially in animal and plant proteins. As an important precursor, it has three forms. It is white or colorless flaky crystals at room temperature. It is easily soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents.
Application areas
Food industry:
1. Flavor enhancer: As the main component of MSG, L-glutamic acid can significantly enhance the umami taste and taste of food. It is widely used in processed meat, fish and other processed foods.
2. Nutritional supplement: It is used to enrich the protein content of food and improve its nutritional value. It is also used in animal and plant feed to enhance its nutritional content.
Medical field:
1. Metabolism and neurological function: It participates in multiple metabolic pathways and is a precursor of glutamate, which is essential for brain function. It has applications in the treatment of glutamate deficiency caused by liver disease and pancreatitis.
2. Nutrition and recovery: It is used in the preparation of enteral nutrients and parenteral nutrients to help patients restore strength and repair tissues.
Cosmetics and personal care products:
1. As a moisturizing ingredient, it regulates the pH value of the skin and improves the overall performance of skin care products.
Scientific research and biotechnology:
1. It is widely used in protein structure analysis, enzyme reaction kinetics and other fields. It is also used in the preparation of cell culture medium to support cell growth and metabolism.
Health effects
1. Neurotransmitter function: As an important source of excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, it is essential for learning and memory functions.
2. Metabolic support: It participates in the synthesis of other amino acids and glucose, and the detoxification of ammonia in the brain.
Storage conditions: Should be stored in a cool, dry place,Avoid direct sunlight and bright light
