The d-amino acid content of Ishizuchi-kurocha, a post-fermented tea produced in Ehime, Japan, was measured. Ishizuchi-kurocha mainly contains d-glutamic and d-alanine, but it also small amount d-aspartic acid. Two types lactic bacteria, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) Levilactobacillus brevis brevis), are the main species involved fermentation during process. Therefore, acid-produc...

Studies of the metabolism in vivo of proline and hydroxyproline and of the related pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid are not numerous. Many earlier redearches in which attempts were made to demonstrate relationships between these compounds and glutamic acid and ornithine are not convincing because of the fact that the rat growth procedure used at that time has now been shown to be inadequate. More rec...

a facile one step synthesis of anilino alky1-n-substituted phthalimide i is reported. the following compounds belonging to this series were made: 1. (anilino-n-ethyl) phthalimide 8 2. (3,4, 5-trimethoxy anilino-n-ethyl) phthalimide 6 3. (3,4, 5-trimethoxy anilino-n-propyl) phthalimide 7 4. n-(ethyl phthalirnido-p-amino benzoyl) glutamic acid diethyl ester 10 5. n-(propyl phthalimido-p-amino ben...

1. 14C-labelled lysine, glutamic acid and methionine were each administered as single infusions through catheters in the jugular veins of pigs between 28 and 42 d old, receiving either a low-protein (LP) (140 g protein/kg), or a high-protein (HP) (200 g protein/kg) diet. The pigs received 40 g diet/kg body-weight per d. 2. L-[U-14C]lysine and L-[U-14C]glutamic acid were both rapidly removed fro...

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), one type of amino acid polymers, consists of D-and L-glutamic acids linked with amide bonding between α-amino and γ-carboxylic acids. Naturally, γ-PGA could be biodegradable polymer and water-solubleapplied in various industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Variation of initial L-glutamic acid concentration affecting on the production of ...

The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), one of the most common food contaminants, primarily targets the gastrointestinal tract to affect animal and human health. This study was conducted to examine the protective function of glutamic acid on intestinal injury and oxidative stress caused by DON in piglets. Twenty-eight piglets were assigned randomly into 4 dietary treatments (7 pigs/treatment): 1) u...

Clove oil is used in fish anesthesia and expected to have a mechanism via glutamic receptor. The present study explores the activities of clove oil and its major compound, eugenol, in comparison with L-glutamic acid on glutamic receptor of silkworm muscle and fish anesthesia. It was found that clove oil and eugenol had similar effects to L-glutamic acid on inhibition of silkworm muscle contract...
