L-alanine is one of the most abundant amino acids in protein. It has a special sweetness and aroma. It is mixed with other aromatic substances to give it a higher flavor. DL-alanine is the sweetest amino acid, which is 1.6 times sweeter than sucrose and glycine. DL-alanine has long been used along with L-glutamate and glycine as amino-alleviating flavorings. Alanine not only endures food taste, but also has the effect of inducing the delicacy of food material itself. It can also enhance the umami, reconcile the salty and sour taste of food, alleviate the spicy, bitter, astringent and irritant taste, and play the role of keeping the overall taste of food soft. DL-alanine also buffers acid and base, chelates heavy metals and prevents Browning of other amino acids, and has been widely used for nutritional enhancement and flavoring.
