Glycine
Description:
Product Name: Glycine
Molecular Formula： C2H5NO2
Molecular Weight： 75.07
CAS No： 56-40-6
Glycine (Glycine, abbreviated as Gly) is also known as aminoacetic acid. Its chemical formula is C2H5NO2. It is a white solid at room temperature and pressure. Glycine is the simplest amino acid in the amino acid series. It is not necessary for human body. It has both acidic and alkaline functional groups in molecules. It is ionized in water and has strong hydrophilicity. It belongs to non-polar amino acid, soluble in polar solvents, but insoluble in polar solvents. In non-polar solvents, with high boiling point and melting point, glycine can present different molecular morphologies by adjusting the acidity and alkalinity of aqueous solution.

Function:
Technical grade:
1. Used as the removing CO2 solvent in the fertilizer industry.
2. Used as electroplating solution additives.
3. Used as PH regulator.
4. Used as pesticide intermediates (eg: the main raw material for herbicides).
Food/Feed grade:
1. Used as a flavoring, sweetener and nutritional supplement.
2. Used in alcoholic beverage, animal and plant food processing.
3. Used as an additive for the making of salted vegetables, sweet jams,salted sauce, vinegar and fruit juice to improve the flavor and the taste of food and increase the nutrition of food.
4. Used as a preservative for fish flakes and peanut jams and stabilizer for cream, cheese etc.
5. Used as a feed additive to increase the amino acid for the poultry and the domestic animals especially for pets.
Application:
Main usage of food-grade glycine
(1)It can be used in Alcoholic becerage,used as an acid corrector or buffer for the composition of wine and soft beverage, used as an additice for the flavor and taste of food.
(2)Used as an antiseptic agent for fish flakes and peanut jams.
(3)Can play a buffering rolein the taste of edible salt and vinegar.
(4)Used in food processing, brewing process,meat processing and soft beverage formulas as well as in Saccharin sodium in order to remove bitterness.
Main usage of pharma –grade glycine
(1)Used in the research on the metabolism of amino acids by medical organisms or on a biochemical asis;
(2)Used as a buffer for aurcomycin,as a raw material for making L-dopa for treating Parkingson disease,Vitamin B6and other amino acids as Threonine;
(3)Used as the raw material for cephslosporins, he intermediate for Thiamphenicol and etc.
Main usage of tech-grade glycine
(1)Used as an additive to the galvanizing solution.
(2)Used as a PHregulator.
(3)Used as an intermediate of pesticides,e.g.a key raw material for herbicide Glyphosate.
