Alanine is an amino acid that helps the body convert the simple glucose into energy and eliminate excess toxins from the liver. Amino acids are the building blocks of important proteins and are key to building strong and healthy muscles. Alanine belongs to non-essential amino acids, which can be synthesized by the body. No entanto, all amino acids may become essential if the body is unable to produce them. People with low-protein diets or eating disorders, liver disease, diabetes, or genetic conditions that cause Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs) may need to take alanine supplements to avoid a deficiency. Alanine has been shown to help protect cells from being damaged during intense aerobic activity when the body cannibalizes muscle protein to produce energy. Alanine is used to support prostate health and is important for the regulation of insulin.
L-alanine is the L-enantiomer of alanine. L-alanine is utilized in clinical nutrition as a component for parenteral and enteral nutrition. L-alanine plays a key role in transferring nitrogen from tissue sites to the liver. L-Alanine is widely used as nutrition supplements, as sweetener and flavor enhancer in the food industry, as flavor enhancer and preservative in the beverage industry, as intermediate for medicine manufacturing in pharmaceutical, as nutritional supplement and sour corrective agent in agriculture/animal feed, and as intermediate in manufacturing of various organic chemicals.
1.Medicine
(1)L - Alanine is an important raw material for the synthesis of VB6, nutrients is one of the components of the filling pure amino acids nutrition infusion.
(2)L - Alanine as the main component of the amino acid injection - 800, the attending liver, cérebro, and help patients with hepatic coma wake up quickly, is also a kind of diuresis medicine.
2.Food additives
(1) Can improve the nutritional value of food, in all kinds of food and beverages, such as: bread, water ice point, fruit tea, milk, soda, sorbet, and so on.Add 0.1 ~ 1% of alanine can obviously improve the utilization rate of the protein in food and beverage, and because the alanine has the characteristics of can be absorbed by the cells directly, therefore, after drinking can quickly restore fatigue, refreshing.
(2)Artificial sweeteners to improve the sense of taste, can make the sweetness efficiency, reduce the dosage.In compound with sweet mei agent of 1 ~ 10% of alanine, can improve the sweetness, sweet, soft as natural sweet mei agent, and can improve the taste.
(3)Alanine or synthetic high sweetness, sweet, Alitame, 600 times of sucrose sweetness) one of the raw material.
(4)Biochemical research.Tissue culture.Determination of liver function.
