Description

L-(+)-Glutamic acid HCl is a monosodium salt that belongs to the group of water-soluble organic acids. It has been used as a food additive and in wastewater treatment, as well as for the production of polymers and pharmaceuticals. Glutamate can be converted to glutamic acid by hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide or other strong bases. Glutamic acid is an important biochemical precursor in the synthesis of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids. It also functions as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. L-(+)-glutamic acid HCl has been shown to induce apoptosis in human HL-60 cells by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and activating caspase-3 activity in these cells. The crystalline cellulose used in this study was obtained from cellulose powder (Avicel PH101).
