CAS 107-43-7: Betaine

Description: Betaine, with the CAS number 107-43-7, is a naturally occurring compound classified as a zwitterionic amino acid derivative. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a quaternary ammonium group and a carboxylate group, making it both positively and negatively charged at physiological pH. Betaine is soluble in water and exhibits hygroscopic properties, allowing it to attract moisture. It is commonly found in sugar beets, spinach, and other plants, and is often used as a feed additive in livestock to improve growth and feed efficiency. In human nutrition, betaine is recognized for its role in methylation processes and as a potential osmoprotectant, helping cells maintain their structure and function under stress conditions. Additionally, it has garnered attention for its potential benefits in athletic performance and metabolic health. Overall, betaine is valued for its multifunctional properties in both biological systems and various industrial applications.
