The Characteristics and Uses:

1.The food-grade Glycine

It is used as a flavoring or sweetness because it is sweet. In combination with sodium glutamate, DL-alanine, or citric acid, it can be used in alcoholic beverage; as a acid corrector or buffer for the composition of wine and soft beverage; as an additive for the making of salted vegetables and sweet jams; as an additive for the making of sause,vinegar and fruit juice, in order to improve the flavor and taste of food, to retain its original color and to provide a source of sweet;

It can be used in food processing, brewing process, meat processing ingredient as well as in saccharin sodium in order to remove bitterness.

2.The medical-grade Glycine

It is mainly used in amino acid injection solution as nutritional infusion. It can be used to patients who have digestive malfuntion, or long consumptive diseases, and urgently need nutritional supplement, including those who have gastroenterotomia, severe traumatic infection, severe burns, cancer, or liver-kidney failure. It also can be used as a nutritional supplement before or after surgical operations;

It can be used in reseach on the metabolism of amino acids by medical organisms or on a biochemical basis.

3.The industrial-grade Glycine

It can be used as a solvent for removing CO2 in the fertilizer industry, as an additive to the electroplating solution, as a pH regular,and as an intermediate of pesticides,e,g,a key raw material for herbicide glyphosate.
