[Applications]

(1) Can improve the nutritional value of food, in all kinds of food and beverages, such as: bread, ice cakes, fruit tea, dairy products, carbonated drinks, sorbet, etc. Adding 0.1~1% alanine can significantly improve the utilization rate of protein in food and beverage, and because alanine  can be directly absorbed by cells, therefore, can quickly restore fatigue after drinking.
(2) Improve the taste sense of synthetic sweeteners (saccharin sodium, licxiaooside, cyclamate, etc.), which can increase the sweetness efficiency and reduce the dosage. Adding 1~10% alanine to the compound sweet agent can improve the sweetness and ease the sweetness of artificial sweeteners, just like a natural sweet agent, to make the aftertaste lasting. It is one of the raw materials of high sweetness Alitame. (L-asparagine-ChemicalbookD-alanamide, 600 times the sweetness of sucrose).

(3) Improve the sour taste of organic acids. Adding 1-5% of the amount of organic acid can improve the sour taste such as glacial acetic acid, succinate acid, fumaric acid, citric acid and tartaric acid, making the mixed sour taste closer to the natural taste.
