Description:
Alpha Ketoglutaric Acid is a chemical found in the body. It is a ketone derivative of the organic compound glutaric acid. It is important for the proper metabolism of all essential amino acids and the transfer of cellular energy in the citric acid or Krebs cycle. In combination with L-glutamate, AKG can reduce levels of ammonia formed in the brain, muscles, and kidneys, as well as help balance the body's nitrogen chemistry and prevent nitrogen excess in body tissues and fluids.
Function:
Basic organic chemical raw materials. It is mainly used in coatings, dyestuffs, adhesives and medicine. The alkyd resin produced by succinic acid has good flexibility, elasticity and water resistance. The two phenyl ester of succinic acid is an intermediate of the dye, which produces anthraquinone dye after reaction with aminanthraquinone. It can be used to produce sulfonamides, vitamin A, vitamin B and hemostatic drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, succinic acid has a wide range of uses in paper manufacturing, textile industry, but also can be used as lubricants, photographic chemicals and surfactants raw materials. Succinic acid can also be used as food acidifying agent for flavoring of wine, feed, candy, etc.
