ChEBI: An alpha-amino acid that consists of succinic acid bearing a single alpha-amino substituent
DL-Aspartic acid (DL-Asp) is a racemic mixture of the proteinogenic amino acid L-aspartate and the non-proteinogenic amino acid D-aspartate. DL-Aspartic acid is used in studies on factors and conditions that enhance semen and sperm quality.

Very low toxicity byintraperitoneal route. When heated to decompositionemits toxic fumes of NOx.
Likely impurities are glutamic acid, cystine and asparagine. Crystallise the acid from water by adding 4 volumes of EtOH and dry it at 110o. [Greenstein & Winitz The Chemistry of the Amino Acids J. Wiley, Vol 3 p 1856 1961, Beilstein 4 IV 2998, 3000.]
