Glycine CAS 56-40-6 Usage
Food and Beverage Industry: Food-grade glycine is mainly used as a flavoring agent, sweetener, and nutritional supplement. It buffers saltiness and sourness, inhibits bacterial growth in food to extend shelf life, and is commonly used in alcoholic beverages, sauces, pickled products, and pastries.
Pharmaceuticals and Health Products: Pharmaceutical-grade glycine is used as a raw material for amino acid infusions and compound preparations; it is commonly used in the treatment of hyperacidity (as an antacid) and as a complementary treatment for iron-deficiency anemia.
Industrial and Agricultural Synthesis: Industrial-grade glycine is a core intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides and herbicides, and is also used as a decarbonization solvent for fertilizers; it is widely used as an additive in electroplating solutions, a pH adjuster, and a chemical reagent.
Feed Additives: It increases feed intake in poultry, livestock, and aquatic animals (as an attractant) and serves as a highly efficient source of amino acids.
Glycine CAS 56-40-6 Packaging
25kg/drum or according to the requirement of clients.
Storage
Temperature and Humidity: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated conventional warehouse, strictly preventing moisture absorption and clumping.
Sealing/Light Protection: Containers must be kept sealed. Avoid prolonged exposure to air.
Isolation and Contraindications: Should be stored strictly separately from food and feed; never store or transport together.
