Description |
L-Threonine is a vital amino acid with diverse applications in nutrition, medicine, and skincare. Its essential role in protein synthesis and various physiological processes underscores its importance as a dietary supplement and pharmaceutical ingredient. Incorporating L-threonine into formulations can enhance nutritional value, support growth and development, and promote overall health and well-being. |
|
Uses |
L-Threonine is utilized as a nutritional additive in various food products, including grains, cakes, and dairy items, to enhance their nutritional value. It acts similarly to tryptophan in promoting growth, development, and reducing fatigue. Due to its hydroxyl-containing structure, threonine has a water-retention effect on human skin. It can interact with oligosaccharide chains and play a protective role in cell membranes. Additionally, it promotes phospholipid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation in vivo, contributing to overall skin health and cellular function. Commercial additives of L-threonine are available in two forms: L-type and DL-type. While animals cannot utilize D-threonine, DL-threonine has a valence of 50% compared to L-threonine. |

In addition, use of alternate ingredients and amino acid formulation on a digestible bases has become more common in the United States.
The absorption spectra indicate a good transparency between 250 and 1500 nm.Refractive indices were measured as a function of temperature and wavelength, allowing the determination of the thermo-optic and Sellmeier equation coefficients.
