Description
L-proline is one of the twenty amino acids for protein synthesis in the human body. At room temperature, it is a colorless to white crystal or crystalline powder with a slight odor and a slightly sweet taste. It is readily soluble in water and ethanol, insoluble in ether, butanol and isopropanol, and soluble in inorganic acids.
Advantages:
Promote protein synthesis: L-proline enhances the structure of collagen and elastin, maintaining the health of the skin and joints.
Antioxidant effect: L-proline eliminates free radicals and delays cellular aging.
Moisturizing repair: L-proline enhances the skin barrier function and reduces water loss in cosmetics.
Agricultural application: L-proline can enhance the stress resistance of plants.

Application
Nutritional fortifier
Sports nutrition products: L-proline is added to protein powder and energy bars to promote muscle repair and growth.
Special diet: Used in postoperative rehabilitation foods or nutritional supplements for the elderly to support tissue repair.
Infant formula milk powder: In some formulas, it is used as an amino acid balancing agent to simulate the components of breast milk.
Flavor improvement and food processing
L-proline participates in the Maillard reaction at high temperatures and combines with reducing sugars to form pyrazine and furan compounds, endowing food with unique flavors and colors. It is commonly found in:
Baked goods: Enhance the burnt aroma and golden color in bread and biscuits.
Meat processing: Enhance the umami flavor in sausages and hams and reduce salt dependence.
Condiments: As a natural umami enhancer in soy sauce and sauces, it can replace part of monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Antioxidation and food preservation
L-proline, in combination with vitamin C, polyphenols, etc., delays lipid oxidation by eliminating free radicals and extends the shelf life of food.
Fatty foods: Added to nuts and fried foods to enhance flavor.
Meat products: Inhibit fat oxidation during processing, maintain color and flavor.
Accelerator of the fermentation industry
In fermented foods (such as cheese, yogurt, and soy sauce), L-proline can serve as a nitrogen source and osmotic pressure regulator:
Yeast culture: L-proline enhances the tolerance of baker's yeast to high sugar and improves the efficiency of dough fermentation.
Probiotic fermentation: L-proline enhances the vitality of lactic acid bacteria and optimizes the texture and acidity of yogurt.
Flavor substance precursors: In the brewing of alcoholic beverages, they participate in the formation of higher alcohols and ester substances, enriching the aroma layers.
Functional foods and sugar substitutes
L-proline, as a stabilizer, is compounded with aspartame, sucralose, etc., to improve solubility and taste.
