概要
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), also known as 4-Aminobutyric Acid, is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid and the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammals, also widely present in plants and microorganisms. Its molecular formula is C4H9NO2, molecular weight is 103.12, CAS number is 56–12–2, and EINECS number is 200–258–6. GABA appears as white or off-white crystalline powder, slightly bitter taste, slightly odorous, very soluble in water, with a thermal decomposition temperature of 202–204°C. As an important physiologically active substance, GABA has various physiological functions including regulating neuronal excitability, calming nerves, improving sleep, anti-anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and promoting growth hormone secretion [17†L10-L11]. GABA is widely used in the food industry, health food industry, pharmaceutical industry, feed industry, and cosmetic industry. In the food industry, as a new food ingredient and synthetic food flavor, it can be used in beverages, cocoa products, chocolate, confectionery, baked goods, puffed foods, and other products [7†L9-L11]. In health foods, the functional claim is limited to "auxiliary improvement of sleep" and other approved claims [17†L14]. In the pharmaceutical field, it is used to treat epilepsy, insomnia, hypertension, and other neurological disorders. In the feed industry, it is used to relieve livestock stress and improve breeding efficiency. In the cosmetic industry, it is used in anti-aging serums and other products for soothing and moisturizing effects.
Appearance: White or off-white crystalline powder, slightly bitter taste, slightly odorous, non-optically active.
Molecular Formula and Molecular Weight: C4H9NO2, molecular weight 103.12.
