Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical Properties

1. Appearance: White flaky crystalline powder 2. Odor & Taste: Odorless, with slight characteristic sour taste 3. Melting Point: 205 °C (Decomposition) 4. Specific Rotation: [α]??? +31.5° ~ +32.5° (c=10, 2N HCl) 5. Density: 1.538 g/cm3 (25 °C) 6. pH Value: Weakly acidic in aqueous solution 7. Solubility: Soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water; practically insoluble in ethanol, methanol, ether and acetone 8. Moisture Content: ≤ 1.0%

Chemical Properties

1. Chemical Stability: Stable in sealed, cool and dry environment at room temperature; decomposes at high temperature above 200°C. 2. Acid-Base Character: Weak acidic amino acid, contains one amino group and two carboxyl groups, showing amphoteric properties. 3. Reactivity: Capable of amino acid typical reactions, including neutralization, esterification and complexation with metal ions. 4. Thermal Stability: Gradually decomposes and loses activity under long-term high temperature heating. 5. Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic, keep tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration. 6. Incompatibility: Incompatible with strong oxidants and strong alkalis; avoid long-term contact and mixed storage.

Applications

1. Food Industry: Widely used as flavor enhancer, seasoning additive and nutritional fortifier in condiments, snacks, beverages and processed food, serving as the core raw material for producing monosodium glutamate.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Applied as pharmaceutical raw material and excipient, used for preparing liver protection drugs, nerve nutrition preparations and amino acid infusion solutions.

3. Health Care Products: Used in functional health products to supplement amino acids and regulate human metabolic balance.

4. Biochemical Research: Standard amino acid reagent for cell culture, metabolic research and biochemical experimental analysis.

5. Fine Chemicals: Key intermediate for synthesizing amino acid derivatives, surfactants and biochemical raw materials.

Usage Restriction: For food processing, pharmaceutical formulation and scientific research use only. Strictly prohibited for illegal processing and improper application.

Storage & Transportation Instructions
