Glycine, also known as aminoacetic acid, is the simplest structured amino acid and a non-essential amino acid in humans (can be synthesized endogenously, but supplementary intake is beneficial). It naturally exists in animal and plant tissues such as gelatin, silk, and soybeans. It appears as white acicular or crystalline powder, with a slightly sweet taste (about 0.8 times the sweetness of sucrose), high water solubility, heat resistance, and amphoteric properties (possessing both acidic and basic characteristics).
Core Application Fields
Food Industry (accounting for over 40% of total demand)
Flavoring and Processing
Used as a sweetener/flavor enhancer in soy sauce, vinegar, and pickles to improve taste and mask bitterness; added to meat products to enhance water retention and elasticity, and extend shelf life.
Health Food
Incorporated into sleep-aid health products to regulate the central nervous system and promote sleep; added to sports supplements to relieve muscle fatigue.
Special Dietary Products
Included in infant formula milk powder (containing 1.2-1.8g per 100g) and elderly nutritional powder (containing 0.8-1.2g per 100g) as an essential amino acid supplement to promote nutrient absorption.
Pharmaceutical Field
Pharmaceutical Raw Material
Used in the synthesis of penicillin, cephalosporin antibiotics, and preparations such as aluminum glycinate and magnesium glycinate for the treatment of gastric ulcers.
Pharmaceutical Excipient
Serves as a tablet filler and capsule stabilizer.
Daily Chemicals and Cosmetics
Skin Care Products
Added to face creams and serums for moisturizing and soothing effects, relieving redness of sensitive skin; used in facial masks (combined with hyaluronic acid) to enhance skin moisture-locking capacity. Cosmetic-grade raw materials are adopted (purity ≥99.0%, no fragrance residue).
Oral Care
Included in toothpaste and mouthwash to inhibit oral bacterial growth, reduce plaque, and improve product taste (masking the irritating bitterness of menthol).
Detergents
Added to livestock and poultry feed to promote intestinal development and improve feed conversion rate; included in aquafeed to enhance stress resistance and reduce mortality.
Industry and Feed
Industrial Applications
Used in the synthesis of electroplating additives (improving the glossiness of metal coatings) and water treatment agents (chelating heavy metal ions); serves as a pesticide intermediate for the synthesis of herbicides and insecticides, improving the stability of pesticide efficacy.
Feed Field
Added to livestock and poultry feed to promote intestinal development and improve feed conversion rate; included in aquafeed to enhance stress resistance and reduce mortality.
