Product Overview

L-Alanine, CAS 56-41-7, is an important L-form protein amino acid. Compared with DL-Alanine, L-Alanine is mainly used for nutritional fortification in dietary supplements and functional food. It participates in energy metabolism and delivers amino acid nutrition for nutritional formulations. It can also act as a taste modifier for food seasoning. Our food grade L-Alanine meets requirements of of AJI & USP, suitable for nutritional formulation and food manufacturing.

Key Characteristics

1.L-form active amino acid Natural L configuration, biologically active, easy to participate in human metabolic pathways.

2.Excellent water solubility Dissolves rapidly in aqueous systems, suitable for solid powder, liquid beverage and food formulation.

3.Good nutritional value Easily absorbed by the body, widely used in amino acid fortification formulas.

4.High purity & low impurities Strict purification process, low heavy metal content, meets food and nutraceutical safety requirements.

5.Good formula compatibility Compatible with most amino acids and food additives, suitable for various food and supplement production processes.

Main Functions

1.Amino acid nutritional fortification Supply L-Alanine for human nutrition supplementation, support normal protein synthesis.

2.Energy & glucose metabolism support Participate in glucose metabolism, help maintain stable energy supply in the body.

3.Food nutrition fortification Add amino acid nutrition to functional food, solid drinks and nutritional formulas.

4.Biochemical medium component Serves as nutrition source for microbial and cell culture systems.

5.Raw material for pharmaceutical synthesis Used for preparation of amino acid related pharmaceutical intermediates and compound amino acid preparations.

Main Applications

1.Functional Food & Food Fortification: Nutrient fortification for solid drinks, nutritional bars, fortified food and functional beverages, supplement amino acid nutrition.

2.Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals Compound amino acid formulas, nutritional powder and sports nutrition products for amino acid fortification.

3.Biotechnology & Laboratory Research Cell culture medium and microbial fermentation medium raw material.

4.Pharmaceutical Industry Amino acid pharmaceutical intermediates and compound amino acid oral preparations.
