Application
Glycine is an important chemical product mainly used in industries such as pesticides, food, and pharmaceuticals. Mainly used in the pesticide industry for the production of herbicide glyphosate; In the food industry, it can be used alone or in combination with sodium glutamate as a seasoning agent, as well as in synthetic wines and brewed products. It can also be used as an additive in cream, margarine, and cheese to extend their shelf life; In the pharmaceutical industry, food grade glycine can be used as an amino acid preparation, a buffer for chloramphenicol, and as a synthetic raw material for the Parkinson's disease drug L-dopa.
