High Purity L-Glutamic acid Powder CAS 56-86-0

Details:

Glutamate is one of the 20 common alpha amino acids that make up proteins. As a precursor of glutamine, proline and arginine. It is divided into three forms: L-body, D-body and racemic body. The L-body is L-glutamic acid. L-glutamic acid is an encoded amino acid in protein synthesis. It is a non-essential amino acid in mammals and can be produced by glucose in the body. changed. It is a white or colorless scaly crystal at room temperature, slightly acidic and non-toxic. Slightly soluble in cold water, easily soluble in hot water, almost insoluble in ether, acetone and cold acetic acid, and also insoluble in ethanol and methanol. Sublimates at 200°C, decomposes at 247°C-249°C, density 1.538g/cm3, optical rotation +37-+38.9 (25°C). L-Glutamic acid has a wide range of uses. As a medicine itself, it can treat hepatic coma, and can also be used to produce monosodium glutamate (sodium glutamate), food additives, spices and biochemical research. L-glutamic acid is produced by using sugar as raw material through microbial fermentation and adopting the method of "isoelectric point extraction" and "ion exchange resin" separation.

L-glutamic acid is mainly used in the production of monosodium glutamate, spices, as salt substitutes, nutritional supplements and biochemical reagents. L-glutamic acid itself can be used as a drug, participate in the metabolism of protein and sugar in the brain, and promote the oxidation process. It is mainly used to treat hepatic coma and severe hepatic insufficiency, etc., but the curative effect is not very satisfactory; combined with antiepileptic drugs, it can still treat epileptic petit mal seizures and psychomotor seizures. Racemic glutamic acid is used in the production of drugs and also as biochemical reagents, etc.
