L-Alanine is a colorless to white crystalline powder, readily soluble in water. Mainly used for biochemical research, tissue culture, liver function measurement, and as a flavor enhancer. It can increase the flavoring effect of seasonings and can also be used as a sour taste correcting agent to improve the acidity of organic acids.

L-alanine (CAS: 56-41-7) can effectively enhance the nutritional value of food products. It is broadly utilized across various food and beverage types, such as bread, shaved ice products, fruit tea, milk, soda, sorbet, and many others. Adding 0.1% to 1% alanine significantly improves protein utilization efficiency in foods and drinks. Since alanine possesses properties that allow it to be absorbed directly by cells, consumption helps quickly alleviate fatigue and provides refreshment.
