Amino Acid Series
Product Introduction
Glycine is the simplest structure among the 20 members of the amino acid series. It is also called aminoacetic acid. It is a non-essential amino acid for the human body. It has both acidic and alkaline functional groups in the molecule. It is a strong electrolyte in aqueous solution and highly polar. It has high solubility in solvents, is basically insoluble in non-polar solvents, and has high boiling and melting points. Glycine can take on different molecular forms by adjusting the acidity and alkalinity of the aqueous solution. The side bond of glycine is a hydrogen atom. Since its alpha carbon also has a hydrogen atom, glycine is not optically isomeric. Because glycine's side bonds are so small, it can occupy spaces that other amino acids cannot, such as as an amino acid within a collagen helix. It is white crystal or light yellow crystalline powder at room temperature. It has a unique sweetness that can alleviate the acid and alkali taste, mask the bitter taste of saccharin added to food and enhance the sweetness. If the human body consumes too much glycine, not only will it not be absorbed and utilized by the human body, but it will also break the body's absorption balance of amino acids and affect the absorption of other amino acids, leading to nutritional imbalance and affecting health. Milk-containing drinks produced with glycine as the main raw material can easily have adverse effects on the normal growth and development of adolescents and children. Density 1.1607. Melting point 232~236℃ (decomposition). Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol and ether. It can react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrochloride. It exists in the muscles of dry low-grade transport materials. It can be produced by the action of monochloroacetic acid and ammonium hydroxide, or it can also be obtained by hydrolysis and refining of gelatin.
Product Function
Glycine is mainly used as a nutritional additive for chicken feed.
Nutritional supplements. Mainly used for seasoning and other aspects.
Used in pharmaceutical industry, biochemical experiments and organic synthesis.
