L-Alanine, Amino Acid Raw Material(CAS 56-41-7)
High-purity L-Alanine is one of the essential natural amino acids for human and organisms, processed by advanced biological fermentation technology, with high purity, low impurity and excellent safety.
As a multifunctional amino acid raw material, it has good hydrophilicity and water-locking performance, which can effectively balance skin water and oil, improve skin moisturizing degree, and relieve dry and tight skin. In the food industry, L-Alanine has a natural sweet taste and excellent flavor-enhancing effect, which can significantly improve food umami, balance salty and sour taste, remove peculiar smell, and improve overall taste texture.
It can also be used as a nutrition fortifier to supplement human amino acid intake. In feed industry, it can improve animal appetite, promote nutrient absorption and growth and development. With stable chemical properties, wide pH adaptability, no irritation and high compatibility, it is a universal high-quality raw material for food processing, daily chemical skin care, breeding industry and fine chemical synthesis.
