Description

Dl-Aspartic Acid Potassium Salt CAS NO 14434-35-6 is a potassium salt derivative of the amino acid aspartic acid, available as a racemic mixture. This compound serves as a crucial source of bioavailable potassium and aspartate ions, offering advantages in solubility and handling over the free acid form. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biochemical research sectors for applications requiring a soluble, non-acidic form of aspartic acid.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used as a key building block or counterion in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug formulations.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into formulations as a source of potassium and aspartate, which may support metabolic and electrolyte balance functions.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a reagent or buffer component in enzymatic studies, cell culture media, and molecular biology applications.
• Food Science & Additives: Potential use as a flavor enhancer or pH regulator in specialized food products, subject to regulatory approval.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Can be used in skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.
• Industrial Biotechnology: Acts as a nutrient source in fermentation processes for the production of various biochemicals.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Aspartic Acid Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying. Production can be aligned with relevant standards, including Food Grade (FCC) or Pharmaceutical Grade requirements, upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
