Introduction: L-Proline is one of the most important amino acids in the synthesis of body protein. It is a vital raw material for amino acid infusion and serves as a main intermediate for first-line antihypertensive drugs like Captopril. It is widely utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Key Usage: As a nutritional supplement and flavoring agent, it undergoes an amino-carbonyl reaction with sugar when heated, generating unique aromatic substances. It is used for protein supplementation after malnutrition, burns, or surgical procedures.
