Superior Quality and Purity

DL-Phenylalanine meets stringent pharmaceutical standards, with a content assay of 98.5%-101.0%, minimal impurities (chloride 0.05%, sulfate 0.03%, heavy metals 0.001%), and an IR spectrum consistent with reference standards. Its high-grade quality makes it ideal for use in medications and dietary supplements.

Applications in Health and Nutrition

Widely utilized in the pharmaceutical industry and as a nutritional supplement, DL-Phenylalanine supports essential metabolic processes. Its stable, racemic form ensures predictable behavior in formulations, and its slightly bitter, odorless characteristic enables easy incorporation into a variety of health products.

Optimal Storage and Handling

To maintain its integrity, DL-Phenylalanine should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, protected from moisture and sunlight. Proper storage prolongs its shelf life to 24 months and ensures that the white crystalline powder remains free-flowing and effective for its intended applications.

FAQ's of Phenylalanine (DL-Phenylalanine):

Q: How is DL-Phenylalanine typically used in pharmaceuticals and supplements?

A: DL-Phenylalanine is incorporated into medicinal compounds and nutritional supplements, due to its role as an essential amino acid. It is valued for supporting protein synthesis, neurological health, and as a component in products promoting metabolic balance.

Q: What makes DL-Phenylalanine optically inactive?

A: DL-Phenylalanine is a racemic mixture containing both D- and L- forms in equal parts, resulting in a specific optical rotation of 0. This balance causes the mixture to exhibit no overall optical activity.

Q: When should DL-Phenylalanine be stored for maximum shelf life, and how?

A: To ensure the full 24-month shelf life, DL-Phenylalanine should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage conditions prevent degradation and contamination.

Q: What testing and quality standards are applied to DL-Phenylalanine?

A: DL-Phenylalanine is tested with infrared (IR) spectroscopy to verify its identity and must conform to reference standards. Additional tests ensure low levels of impurities, including chloride (0.05%), sulfate (0.03%), and heavy metals (0.001%), and confirm high purity (98.5%-101.0%).

Q: Where does this DL-Phenylalanine originate and who can supply it?

A: Produced in India, DL-Phenylalanine is available from exporters, importers, manufacturers, and suppliers specializing in pharmaceutical and nutritional ingredients for domestic and international markets.

Q: What are the benefits of choosing the DL-form of phenylalanine over the L-form alone?

A: The DL-form provides a balanced racemic mixture which can offer broader applicability in synthesis and may be suitable for specific pharmaceutical or industrial processes where optical activity is undesired or unnecessary.
