Descriptions | Citrate betaine is an alkaloid extracted from natural plant beet roots, with the chemical name N, N, N-trimethylglycine. It has strong hygroscopic properties and is widely present in plants and animals, including plants such as sugar beets, spinach, malt, mushrooms, as well as the liver, spleen, and amniotic fluid of mollusks such as octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp, and vertebrates (including humans). The molecular structure of betaine citrate is similar to that of amino acids and belongs to the quaternary ammonium alkaloid class. Its molecular formula is C5H11NO2. It is a neutral substance that is easily soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol, but insoluble in ether. After the decomposition reaction of concentrated potassium hydroxide solution, betaine can generate trimethylamine and has hygroscopicity, making it highly deliquescent. Betaine has various physiological functions in organisms, such as playing an important role in methionine metabolism and promoting the transfer of methyl groups. In addition, it also participates in the metabolism of fat and cholesterol, and has functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation. Citric acid betaine has a wide range of application fields, including pharmaceuticals, food, feed and other industries. In the field of medicine, it is used as a methyl donor and participates in the synthesis of important substances such as vitamin B12. In the field of food and feed, it is added as a nutritional enhancer to enhance the nutritional value of food and feed. |
