Aminoacetic Acid

1.The food-grade Glycine is mainly used as nutritional supplement and food additive:

It is used as a flavoring or sweetness because it is sweet. In combination with sodium glutamate, DL-alanine, or citric acid, it can be used in alcoholic beverage; as a acid corrector or buffer for the composition of wine and soft beverage; as an additive for the making of salted vegetables and sweet jams; as an additive for the making of sauce, vinegar and fruit juice, in order to improve the flavor and taste of food, to retain its original color and to provide a source of sweet; 

It can be used as an antiseptic agent for fish flakes and peanut jams, because it can inhibit the reproduction of bacillus subtilis and E.coil;

Glycine consists of amino and hydroxyl ions and therefore has strong buffering effects. It can play a buffering role in the taste of edible salt and vinegar;
It plays a certain role in metal chelation and antioxidation. Therefore, it can be used as a stabilizer for, cream, cheese, margarine, fast cooked noodles, wheat flour and pig lard;
It can be used as an inductor in feed additive because it is weet;

It can be used as a buffer for Aureomycin, as a raw material L-Dopa foe treating Parkinson s disease, as a raw material for synthesis of B6 amino acids including threonine, the intermediates of imidazoleacetic acid;
It can be used as a stabilizer for Vitamin C;
It can be used in the research on the metabolism of amino acids by medical organisms or on a biochemical basis.

3.The industrial-grade Glycine 

Can be used as a solvent for removing CO2 in the fertilizer industry, as an additive to the electroplating solution, as a pH regulator, and as an intermediate of pesticides, e.g.a key raw material for herbicide glyphosate.
