About L-Cysteine
L-Cysteine can be used as the raw material for the production of N-acetyl-L-carboxymethyl cysteine and other cysteine derivatives.
L-Cysteine is white crystal or crystalline powder, soluble in water, slightly odorous, insoluble in ethanol, insoluble in organic solvents such as ether. Melting point 240 ℃, monoclinic system. L-Cysteine is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids, which is a non-essential amino acid. In the organism, the sulfur atom of methionine is replaced with the hydroxyl oxygen atom of serine, and it is synthesized through cystathionine. From L-Cysteine, glutathione can be generated. glycerol. L-Cysteine is acid stable, but is easily oxidized to cystine in neutral and alkaline solutions.
L-Cysteine is a reducing agent, it can promote the formation of gluten, reduce the time required for mixing and the energy required for medicinal purposes, L-Cysteine by changing the disulfide bonds between and within protein molecules, The structure of the protein is weakened so that the protein stretches out.
One of the major roles of L-Cysteine is to promote gastric mucosal health and promote improved absorption of essential nutrients from food sources. L-Cysteine is found in many foods, such as meat, dairy products and vegetables. If this protein source can be adequately obtained from the daily diet, no supplementation is required.
