Product Information

• Name: Z-Gly-Gly-Phe-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Z-Gly-Gly-Phe-OH is a sweetener that is used in the food and beverage industry. It is also used in the manufacture of peptides for therapeutic purposes. Z-Gly-Gly-Phe-OH has been shown to be effective as an inhibitor of carboxyl esterases, which are enzymes that break down fatty acids. This inhibition leads to a delayed absorption of fats and oils. Z-Gly-Gly-Phe-OH can be synthesized by chemical methods or enzymatic methods. The former method involves the reaction between 3,4,5,6 tetrahydropyran with glyoxylic acid and glycine. The latter method involves esterification of glycine with 3,4,5,6 tetrahydropyran followed by hydrolysis of the resulting dicyclohexylurea to yield Z-glycidol and Phe.
