Product Description
Methionine, which appears as a white crystalline powder, is one of the essential amino acids that make up the human body. Its molecular formula is C5H11O2NS. It is optically active and participates in protein synthesis. It is currently commonly used as a nutritional fortifier in feed to compensate for the amino acid balance.
Product Parameters
At present, Methionine is widely used in those products:
Mainly used as nutritional supplement. It has the same physiological effect as L-type methionine, but is low in price (L-type is produced from DL-type), so DL-methionine is generally used. It is a limiting amino acid in plant foods such as oats, rye, rice, corn, wheat, peanut flour, soybeans, potatoes, and spinach. Add to the above foods to improve amino acid balance. Requirements vary with cystine intake
