Products Description

L-Glutamic Acid Powder 98.5% Food Grade CAS 56-86-0

L-Glutamic acid is an acidic α-amino acid with two carboxyl groups and one amino group in its molecular structure. It is biosynthetically produced via microbial fermentation of plant-derived starch raw materials, featuring stable molecular configuration and high natural bioavailability.

As a core intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, it participates in mammalian protein anabolism and nitrogen metabolism circulation. It acts as a key excitatory neurotransmitter precursor in neural tissue and serves as a natural umami substrate in food systems. In cosmetic formulations, it regulates skin osmotic pressure and maintains stratum corneum moisture balance; in pharmaceutical applications, it participates in ammonia metabolism to assist liver metabolic regulation. The product adopts strict fermentation and purification processes, with stable optical rotation and low impurity residue, complying with global food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical raw material standards.
