Description

a-Methyl-D-phenylalanine is an enantiomer of the racemic amino acid L-alanine. It has been shown to be a competitive inhibitor of benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase, which catalyses the conversion of benzyl alcohol to propanoic acid. This product is also an alkylating agent that reacts with the tert-butyl group on propanol to produce tert-butyl methyl ether and methyl benzoate. Citric acid is a weak organic acid that can be used as an acidulant in foods. Citric acid can also act as a buffer in food products, preventing changes in pH due to other ingredients. Citric acid monohydrate is a salt form of citric acid that can be used for cooking and baking purposes. A common use for citric acid monohydrate is as a leavening agent for cakes and breads, where it reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide bubbles that help make the
