L-Phenylalanine High Quality Food Grade CAS 63-91-2
Product Description
L Phenylalanine is a colorless to white sheet crystal or white crystalline powder. It is a nutritional supplement and one of the essential amino acids. In the body, most of them are oxidized into tyrosine by phenylalanine hydroxylase, and synthesize important neurotransmitters and hormones together with tyrosine, which participate in the metabolism of sugar and fat in the body. Almost unrestricted amino acids are found in the protein of most foods. It can be added to baked food, in addition to strengthen phenylalanine, with carbohydrate amino-carbonyl reaction, can improve the flavor of food.

Function
1.L - phenylalanine are important food additives - sweetener Aspartame (Aspartame) of the main raw material, the human body essential amino acids in one of the pharmaceutical industry is mainly used for amino acid transfusion and amino acid drugs.
2.L - phenylalanine is human body can't synthesized a kind of essential amino acids. Food industry mainly for Food sweetener aspartame synthesis raw material.
Application
1. Pharmaceutical field : phenylalanine is used in medicine as an intermediate of anticancer drugs and is one of the components of amino acid infusion. It is also a raw material for the production of adrenaline, melanin, etc., which has the effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. In addition, phenylalanine, as a drug carrier, can load anti-tumor drugs into the tumor site, which not only inhibits tumor growth, but also greatly reduces the toxicity of tumor drugs. In the pharmaceutical industry, phenylalanine is an essential component of pharmaceutical infusion products, and is also a raw material or a good carrier for the synthesis of some drugs, such as HIV protease inhibitors, p-fluorophenylalanine, etc. .
2. Food industry : phenylalanine is one of the raw materials of aspartame, used as a sweetener to enhance the taste of food, especially for diabetics and hypertension patients. Aspartame, as an excellent low-calorie sweetener, has a sweetness similar to sucrose, and its sweetness is 200 times that of sucrose. It is widely used in condiments and functional foods. In addition, phenylalanine is also used in baked foods to strengthen amino acids and improve food flavor. Research by Hershey has found that processing unroasted cocoa with phenylalanine, leucine, and degraded sugars can significantly improve cocoa flavor .
To sum up, phenylalanine plays an important role in the pharmaceutical field and the food industry, not only as an essential nutrient, but also as a key ingredient in drugs and food additives, which has a positive impact on human health and quality of life.
