Glutamic Acid Powder

What is glutamic acid?

Glutamic Acid Powder is an acidic amino acid with two carboxyl groups in the molecule. It is one of the 20 common α amino acids that make up protein. As a precursor of glutamine, proline and arginine, it is divided into three forms: levorotatory, dextrorotatory and racemic. It is present in large quantities in cereal proteins and is also present in high concentrations in animal brains. It plays an important role in the protein metabolism process in organisms and participates in many important chemical reactions in animals, plants and microorganisms. It is an important non-essential amino acid, which means that the human body can synthesize enough nutrients for its use.

Characteristics

• Colorless crystals with a special umami and sour taste.
• Poorly soluble in water, but very soluble in formic acid.
• As a key metabolic intermediate, it participates in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.
• The negatively charged side chain enables it to play a key catalytic role in the active site of proteins.

‌Functions

Promote brain function‌: It is one of the most abundant amino acids in the brain. It is essential for the signal transmission of nerve cells. It can promote brain function, enhance memory and learning ability‌.

‌Enhance immunity‌: It helps maintain the normal function of the immune system, enhances the body's resistance to external pathogens, and thus improves overall immunity‌.

‌Participate in protein synthesis‌: As a kind of amino acid, it participates in protein synthesis and plays an important role in muscle growth and repair‌.

‌Regulate blood sugar‌: It can affect the secretion of insulin, help maintain the stability of blood sugar levels, and is especially beneficial for diabetic patients‌.

‌Promote digestion‌: It can stimulate gastric acid secretion, improve digestive function, and help indigestion.

‌Detoxification effect‌: By participating in protein synthesis, it improves the body's ability to metabolize toxins, helps detoxify and protect physical health‌.

‌Promote growth and development‌: Supplement the amino acids lacking in children and adolescents to meet the needs of physical development‌.

‌Increase appetite‌: Stimulate taste receptors, enhance appetite, and encourage the body to take in more nutrients‌.

Improve liver function: It is taken up and utilized by liver cells to synthesize protein in the liver, which helps repair damaged liver tissue and reduce the burden on the liver.

Role in body function

①Chemical messenger: transmits information from one nerve cell to another.

②Energy source for brain cells: can be used when glucose reserves, the main energy source of cells, are low.

③Regulation of learning and memory: helps to strengthen or weaken signals between neurons over time to shape learning and memory.

④Pain transmitter: higher levels of glutamate are associated with increased pain sensation.

⑤Sleep and wakefulness mediator: studies in rat models have shown that glutamate levels are highest when we are awake or during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Applications

Food: It can be used as a food additive to enhance the taste of food. It also has a preservation effect and can extend the shelf life of food.

‌Cosmetics: Due to its moisturizing, nutritional and antioxidant properties, it is often used as a moisturizer and antioxidant to help maintain the moisture and elasticity of the skin and delay skin aging.

‌Medicine: It has many applications in the medical field. It has a therapeutic effect on nerve center damage and cerebral cortex damage. It can also be made into a variety of finished medicines, such as medicinal glutamate oral tablets, calcium glutamate injection, etc.
