What is L-ASPARTIC ACID?

Description

Aspartic acid an amino acid building block for other amino acids and several types of nucleotides, is produced in the body and provided by dietary sources including beef, poultry, dairy products, and seed sprouts. It is one component (the other is phenylalanine) of the artificial sweetener aspartame.

The Uses of L-ASPARTIC ACID

aspartic acid is an amino acid used to enhance skin smoothness. It is usually present in products for dry skin. Aspartic acid is a nonessential amino acid naturally occurring in animals, plants, sugarcane, sugar beets, and molasses. A synthetic version is more commonly used for commercial applications.

The Uses of L-ASPARTIC ACID

Aspartic Acid is a nonessential amino acid that exists as colorless or white crystals of acid taste. It is slightly soluble in water. It functions to improve the biological quality of a total protein in a food containing naturally occurring primarily intact protein and as a nutrient and dietary supplement.

Definition

ChEBI: L-aspartic acid is the L-enantiomer of aspartic acid. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite and a neurotransmitter. It is an aspartate family amino acid, a proteinogenic amino acid, an aspartic acid and a L-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate acid of a L-aspartate(1-). It is an enantiomer of a D-aspartic acid.
