It is a white solid, but impure samples can appear yellowish. It dissolves well in water to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C. It was originally called L-hexuronic acid, Because it is derived from glucose, many animals are able to produce it, but humans require it as part of their nutrition. There exists a D-ascorbic acid, which does not occur in nature. It may be synthesized artificially. 收起 | |

Although classified as a non-essential amino acid, in rare cases, cysteine may be essential for infants, the elderly, and individuals with certain metabolic disease or who suffer from malabsorption syndromes. This product is used as a flavoring agent in many food applications. 收起 | |

It is an organic compound and chemically is classified as a hydrocarbon and specifically as a terpenoid (isoprenoid), reflecting its derivation from isoprene units. Absorption of Beta carotene is enhanced if eaten with fats, as carotenes are fat soluble. Carotene is the substance in carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes that colors them orange and is the most common form of carotene in plants. This product is often used as a food coloring agent. 收起 | |

It is added as a mineral supplement for infant formula and is used as an anti-caking agent for powders. Solutions of copper sulfate can be sprayed on fruits to prevent mold growth. Chemically, it is a component used in the manufacture of a class of colors, called azo dyes. It is hard to comprehend how one less water molecule can turn a pesticide into a food grade dietary supplement used in infant formula. 收起 | |

It is a series of organic compounds consisting of various methylated phenols. Because the vitamin activity was first identified in 1936 from a dietary fertility factor in rats. alpha-Tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, where the main dietary sources are olive and sunflower oils. 收起 | |

This is the smallest of 20 different amino acids commonly found in proteins. Glycine is a colourless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid. It is unique among the proteinogenic amino acids in that it is not chiral. It can fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environments, due to its minimal side chain of only one hydrogen atom. Glycine is manufactured industrially by treating chloroacetic acid with ammonia. 收起 | |

It is extremely rare for a diet to contain insufficient quantities of lysine. Vegetarians who follow a macrobiotic diet and athletes who exercise vigorously on a frequent basis must take care to obtain sufficient L-lysine. Beans, peas and lentils are the best source of lysine. 收起 | |

"Vitamin E" is the collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. Naturally occurring vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) that have varying levels of biological activity [1]. Alpha- (or α-) tocopherol is the only form that is recognized to meet human requirements. 收起 | |

It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the large intestine and accounts for approximately 0.1% of total human body weight. While taurine is sometimes called an amino acid, and indeed is an acid containing an amino group, it is not an amino acid in the usual biochemical meaning of the term, which refers to compounds containing both an amino and a carboxyl group. 收起 |
