L-Phenylalanine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Description
Phenylalanie is an essential amino acid and it is the precursor of the amino acid tyrosine. The body cannot make phenylalanie but it needs phenylalanie to produce proteins. Thus, human needs to obtain phenylalanie from food. 3 forms of phenylalanie are found in the nature: D-phenylalanine, L-phenylalanine, and DL-phenylalanine. Among these three forms, L-phenylalanine is the natural form found in most foods that containing proteins, including beef, poultry, pork, fish, milk, yogurt, eggs, cheeses, soy products, and certain nuts and seeds. The form of phenylalanine determines its application. It is suggested that L-phenylalanine can strengthen the effect of UVA radiation for people with vitiligo, in which L-phenylalanine may lead to darkening or repigmentation of the white patches, particularly on the face. The neurotransmitters L-phenylalanine affects help reduce hunger, improve memory, lessen the symptoms of ADHD and Parkinson's disease, and ease chronic pain, according to the UMMC research. Thus, L-phenylalanine is used in the manufacture of food and drink products and sold as a nutritional supplement for its reputed analgesic and antidepressant effects. L-phenylalanine is also suggested as an intermediate for anti-cancer drugs. A few small studies showed promise using L-Phenylalanine to manage alcohol withdrawal and ease PMS symptoms. It is also used in artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.

Chemical Properties
L-Phenylalanine has no odor and a slight bitter taste. It melts with decomposition at about 283°C. The pH of a 1 in 100 solution is between 5.4 and 6.0. FEMA notes this chemical is used in cocoa substitute only.
Chemical Properties
White crystalline powder
Occurrence
Reported found in white bread, macaroni, egg noodles, corn flakes, corn grits, oatmeal, wheat bran, wheat flakes, shredded wheat, barley, brown rice, rye flour, whole grain wheat flour, buttermilk, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, bacon, cured ham, frankfurters, pork sausage, canned red kidney beans, canned sweet corn, canned peas, canned lima beans, canned potatoes, canned asparagus, canned snap beans, canned beets, beef, lamb, fresh ham, veal round, beef liver, chicken, chicken liver, turkey and other natural sources.
Uses
L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids, which in turn is converted to L-DOPA and further conv erted into dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. L-Phenylalanine is produced for medical, feed, and nutritional applications such as in the preparation of Aspartame.
Uses
phenylalanine is a conditioning agent with greater application in hair care than in skin care preparations. It is also used in suntan products.

Definition
ChEBI: The L-enantiomer of phenylalanine.
Preparation
From PTS-negative Escherichia coli bioengineered strains.
Production Methods
In previous large-scale production processes for L-phenylalanine two enzymatic methods were applied: 1. Resolution of N-acetyl-D,L-phenylalanine by carrier-fixed microbial acylase: This process provided pharmaceutical-grade L-phenylalanine, but suffered from the disadvantage that the D-enantiomer had to be racemized and recycled. 2. Stereoselective and enantioselective addition of ammonia to trans-cinnamic acid, catalyzed by L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5): PAL-containing Rhodotorula rubra was used in an industrial process to supply L-phenylalanine for the first production campaign of the sweetener aspartame. When continuously operated in an immobilized whole cell reactor, the bioconversion reached concentration up to 50 g/L Lphenylalanine at a conversion of about 83%. Other processes started from phenylpyruvate with L-aspartic acid as amine donor using immobilized cells of Escherichia coli or from a-acetamidocinnamic acid and immobilized cells of a Corynebacterium equi strain. In both cases L-phenylalanine concentrations up to 30 g/L and more (molar yields as high as at least 98 %) were reached.
However, fermentation processes based on glucose-consuming L-phenylalanine overproducing ;mutants of E. coli and coryneform strains turned out to be more economical. L-Phenylalanine is formed in ten enzymatic steps starting from erythrose-4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate. A suitable profile of the specific glucose feed rate prevents acetate formation and leads to improved L-phenylalanine production with a final concentration up to 46 g/L and a corresponding yield of 18 %.
L-Phenylalanine is recovered from the fermentation broth either by two-step crystallization or by an ionexchange resin process. The preferred cell separation technique is ultrafiltration; and the filtrates may be treated with activated carbon for further purification. Instead of ion-exchange resins nonpolar, highly porous synthetic adsorbents are recommended to remove impurities. An alternative process in which a cell separator is integrated in the fermentation part, thus allowing cell recycling, was suggested for L-phenylalanine production and may lead to prospective developments.

General Description
Odorless white crystalline powder. Slightly bitter taste. pH (1% aqueous solution) 5.4 to 6.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble. Aqueous solutions are weak acids.
Reactivity Profile
L-Phenylalanine may be light sensitive. Act as weak acids in solution.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition L-Phenylalanine emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for L-Phenylalanine are not available; however, L-Phenylalanine is probably combustible.
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. It is significantly involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, l-DOPA (Dihydroxyphenylalanine), melanin and thyroxine. L-Phenylalanine metabolism also results in phenylethylamine, that brings about effect of a stimulant in the brain and enhances mood.
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by intraperitoneal route. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
Purification Methods
Likely impurities are leucine, valine, methionine and tyrosine. Crystallise L-phenylalanine from water by adding 4volumes of EtOH. Dry it in vacuo over P2O5. Also crystallise it from saturated refluxing aqueous solutions at neutral pH, or 1:1 (v/v) EtOH/water solution, or conc HCl. It sublimes at 176-184o/0.3mm with 98.7% recovery and unracemised [Gross & Gradsky J Am Chem Soc 77 1678 1955]. [Greenstein & Winitz The Chemistry of the Amino Acids J. Wiley, Vol 3 pp 2156-2175 1961, Beilstein 14 IV 1552.]
