Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring compound found abundantly in sugar beets, spinach, and quinoa. It functions as an osmolyte and methyl donor in biological systems. It supports cellular hydration and metabolic processes.
In food manufacturing, Betaine is valued for its flavor-enhancing properties and its ability to improve texture in processed foods. It is widely used in the animal nutrition industry to support growth performance and carcass quality. Betaine is available in both anhydrous and hydrated forms to suit different formulation requirements.
