DL-methionine is white flake crystal or crystalline powder. Has a special smell. Slightly sweet. Melting point is 281 degrees (decomposition). The pH value of 10% aqueous solution is 5.6-6.1. No optical rotation. Chemicalbook is stable to heat and air. It is unstable to strong acid and can cause demethylation. It is soluble in water (3.3g/100ml, 25 degrees), dilute acid and dilute Reduce the solution. Very insoluble in ethanol, almost insoluble in ether

It is suitable for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases and arsenic or benzene poisoning. It can also be used for the treatment of malnutrition caused by insufficient protein after dysentery and chronic infectious diseases.
Nutritional supplements. It has the same physiological effect as L-methionine, but the price is low (L-type is made from DL-type), so DL-methionine is generally used. Amino acids are restricted in plant foods such as oats, rye, rice, corn, wheat, peanut flour, soybeans, potatoes, and spinach. Add to the above foods to improve amino acid balance. The amount required varies with cystine intake. The adult male requirement is 1.1g/d.
The taste of sea urchin is related to methionine, the sweet taste of sea urchin is related to glycine and alanine, the bitter taste is related to valine, and the umami taste is related to glutamic acid. Therefore, these amino acids can be formulated into flavoring agents.
