Taurine is the most widely used axit amin in the global energy drink and chức năngal beverage market.
It is produced commercially through chemical synthesis from ethylene oxide and sodium bisulfite. This yields a high-độ tinh khiết product suitable for food and dược phẩm ứng dụng. Taurine's excellent water độ hòa tan, độ ổn định, and neutral taste make it highly versatile for diverse formulation needs.
