Appearance: White crystals or crystalline powder
Function:It is a kind of salt substitute, nutritional supplements, umami (mainly used for meat, soups and poultry, etc.). It can also be used as a preventer for the crystallization of magnesium ammonium phosphate in canned shrimp, crab and other aquatic products. The dosage is 0.3% to 1.6%.
L-Glutamic acid Benefits:
1. Glutamate participates in the combined deamination centered on glutamate dehydrogenase (glutamate is deaminated).
2. In blood ammonia transport, glutamine synthase catalyzes the combination of glutamate and ammonia to generate glutamine. Glutamine is neutral, non-toxic, easily permeable through cell membranes, and is the main transport form of ammonia.
3. In the glucose-alanine cycle pathway, glutamate dehydrogenase in muscle catalyzes the combination of α-ketoglutarate with ammonia to form glutamate, and then glutamate is then combined with glutamate under the catalysis of alanine aminotransferase. Pyruvate forms alpha-ketoglutarate and alanine.
4. In the metabolic pathway of biologically active substances, glutamate itself is an excitatory neurotransmitter, which is widely present in the brain and spinal cord, and γ-aminobutyric acid formed by decarboxylation of glutamate is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Widespread in the body.
5. In the amino acid synthesis pathway, glutamic acid is an important precursor for the synthesis of glutamine, proline, arginine and lysine.
6. In the ornithine cycle (urea synthesis) pathway, glutamate dehydrogenase in mitochondria removes the amino group of glutamate to provide free ammonia for the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate; aspartate aminotransferase in cytoplasm The amino group of glutamic acid is transferred to oxaloacetic acid, which then forms aspartic acid into the ornithine cycle, and glutamic acid indirectly provides a second amino group for the cycle.
