DL-Alanine is a high-purity racemic mixture of alpha-amino acids, serving as a vital building block for protein synthesis and metabolic regulation. It is characterized by its excellent water solubility and stable crystalline structure, making it ideal for diverse industrial applications.

In the food sector, this Food Grade additive functions as a potent flavor enhancer and sweetener with a clean profile. Its ability to mask bitter aftertastes and improve the sensory qualities of processed goods makes it a versatile ingredient for global manufacturers.

As a Pharmaceutical Grade intermediate, it is essential for the synthesis of Vitamin B6 and various medicinal compounds. Its role as a pH buffering agent ensures stability in clinical formulations and laboratory reagents used in complex biochemical research.

DL-Alanine

  • Flavor Enhancement: Utilized in the food industry to improve the taste profile of beverages and savory products by providing a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a primary precursor in the industrial synthesis of Vitamin B6 and other therapeutic drug components.
  • Nutritional Formulations: Integrated into dietary supplements and medical infusions to support nitrogen balance and glucose metabolism in patients and athletes.

DL-Alanine is classified as non-hazardous for industrial handling, though standard safety protocols are required. Operators should wear safety goggles and nitrile gloves to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure dust extraction or proper ventilation is used to minimize inhalation of fine powder during bulk processing.
