Description

a-Phenyllactic acid is a fatty acid that is naturally found in the body. It is an intermediate of the biosynthesis of other compounds, such as pyruvic acid and lactic acid. It has been shown to be a metabolite of phenylalanine and tyrosine in urine samples by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. a-Phenyllactic acid can be synthesized from ethylene diamine and galacturonic acid, which can be obtained from natural sources such as fruit juices or sugar cane molasses. The product may be used for neutralizing acidic substances, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium carbonate, because it is insoluble in water.
