L-Glutamic acid, calcium salt (2:1)

Description:

L-Glutamic acid, calcium salt (2:1), with the CAS number 5996-22-5, is a calcium salt of the amino acid L-glutamic acid. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications. It serves as a source of calcium and glutamate, which are important for biological functions, including neurotransmission and metabolic processes. The 2:1 ratio indicates that two molecules of L-glutamic acid are associated with one calcium ion, which can influence its solubility and bioavailability. L-Glutamic acid itself is a non-essential amino acid that plays a critical role in protein synthesis and is involved in cellular metabolism. In food science, this compound is often used as a flavor enhancer due to its umami taste. Additionally, it has applications in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, particularly for its potential benefits in supporting cognitive function and muscle recovery. As with any chemical substance, safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
