Description
Dl-methionine is a white crystalline powder or granule without visible impurities. Dl-methionine is slightly soluble in water (about 3.3 g/100 mL, 20℃), readily soluble in dilute acids and dilute alkalis, and poorly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. Dl-methionine has the characteristic odor of a slightly sulfur-containing compound. It is stable under dry and dark conditions but may decompose when exposed to strong oxidants.
Advantages:
Nutritional fortification:
Dl-methionine, as an essential amino acid that the human body and animals cannot synthesize by themselves, can promote protein synthesis and improve malnutrition after supplementation. Improve the feed utilization rate in animal feed to promote growth and muscle development.
Antioxidant function:
Dl-methionine participates in the synthesis of glutathione by providing sulfur atoms, helping to eliminate free radicals and delay the oxidation and deterioration of food.
Processing performance optimization:
In food processing, adjusting the pH value, DL-methionine is used to enhance the elasticity of dough (such as in baked goods). Inhibit lipid peroxidation, extend the shelf life of meat products and maintain their color.
Cost-effectiveness:
Dl-methionine is suitable for large-scale industrial applications due to its simple synthesis process and lower cost.

Application
Nutritionally fortified food:
Dl-methionine is added to grains, infant formula milk powder, protein powder, etc., to make up for the deficiency of methionine in plant proteins (such as soy protein).
Meat products:
Dl-methionine inhibits fat oxidation, reduces the generation of off-flavors, and extends the shelf life (such as sausages and hams).
Baked goods:
Dl-methionine enhances the gluten network structure and improves the volume and texture of bread.
Condiments:
Dl-methionine, as a flavor precursor, participates in the Maillard reaction and enhances the flavor of meat flavoring.
Health food:
Dl-methionine is used in liver-protecting products or as an ingredient in antioxidant supplements.
Vegetarian and plant-based foods:
Dl-methionine strengthens the amino acid balance of plant protein beverages (such as pea protein beverages) and enhances nutritional value.
Feed industry:
DL-methionine is one of the essential amino acids for the growth of poultry and livestock animals. It is the "skeleton" amino acid for the biosynthesis of proteins and has a strong regulatory effect on the metabolism of animals. Adding DL-methionine to the feed can make up for the amino acid balance as a feed additive and improve the nutritional value of the feed.
