DL-Aspartic Acid is a racemic mixture containing equal proportions of D-Aspartic Acid and L-Aspartic Acid. It is a non-essential amino acid that participates in various metabolic pathways including the urea cycle and nucleotide synthesis. In the food industry, DL-Aspartic Acid is used as a flavor enhancer and acidulant.
It contributes a mild sour taste to food products. It is produced through chemical synthesis methods that yield the racemic mixture in high purity. Its dual-form composition makes it suitable for applications where both enantiomers provide functional benefits.
