L-Phenylalanine

Product introduction:

L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by human body. Proteins in most foods contain almost unlimited amino acids. The product is the raw material of a variety of anticancer drugs and dipeptide sweetness. White flake crystal or crystalline powder, with a slight special smell and bitter taste It melts and decomposes at about 283 ℃, slightly soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol.

CAS：63-91-2

Molecular formula: C₉H₁₁NO₂

Molecular weight: 165.19

Structural type:

Purpose:

It is used as a nutrient enhancer, amino acid infusion and compound amino acid preparation. It can be added to baked food. In addition to strengthening phenylalanine, it can react with carbohydrates to improve the flavor of food. In the food industry, it is mainly used as the synthetic raw material of aspartame; It can also be used as a nutritional supplement. Refined Pharmacopoeia grade L-phenylalanine is used to prepare compound amino acid infusion.

Properties

L-Phenylalanine is one of the twenty common amino acids. It is a powder solid at room temperature. L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. Because the benzene ring at one end of the molecule is hydrophobic, L-phenylalanine is classified as a nonpolar molecule. L-Phenylalanine is an electrically neutral amino acid, and "uuu" and "UUC" are its codons. L-Phenylalanine is the precursor of tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and melanin. L-Phenylalanine is found naturally in mammalian milk. It is used in the manufacture of food and beverage products and is sold as a nutritional supplement with its famous analgesic and antidepressant effects. It is a direct precursor of phenylethylamine, a neuromodulator, and a common dietary supplement. The human body cannot synthesize phenylalanine by itself, so it must be taken from the diet. Generally, L-phenylalanine is produced by plants. Therefore, the main use of this product is for functional food additives.
