DL-alanine

DL-Alanine (CAS 302-72-7 ), the racemic form of alanine, is a non-essential amino acid used across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing. It functions primarily as a pH buffer, flavor modifier, and moisturizing agent in finished formulations. In food and beverage production, this amino acid improves taste profile by moderating bitterness and enhancing savory notes in seasonings, sauces, and processed foods. Pharmaceutical formulators incorporate it as a buffering agent in parenteral solutions. Stable pH control is critical to product integrity in oral dosage forms. In personal care, it is used in skin-conditioning formulations, particularly moisturizers and hair care products, where its humectant properties support water retention. It also appears in peptide synthesis as a building block where stereoselectivity is not required, reducing input costs compared to enantiopure grades. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for diverse industrial applications. The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder. Standard commercial grades include food-grade ( FCC ) and pharmaceutical-grade ( USP / BP ) specifications, with selection driven by the regulatory requirements of the target application. Bulk quantities are available for industrial procurement, with smaller packaging options for R&D and specialty formulation use. This ensures that manufacturers can source the material according to their specific production scale and needs. Contact us for supply of DL-alanine Request Quote
