The characteristics and usage:
1.Food grade:
       (1)Used as a flavoring or sweetener, in combination with DL-Alannine or Citric, it can be used in Alcoholic beverage, used as a acid corrector or buffer for the composition of wine and soft beverage, used as an additive for the making of sause, vinegar, fruit juice, salted vegetables and sweet jans in order to improve the flavor and taste of food, to retain its original color and to provide a source of sweet.
       (2)Used as an antiseptic agent for fish flakes and peanut jams;
       (3)Can play a buffering role in the taste of edible salt and vinegar;
       (4)Used as an inductor in feed additives;
       (5)Used in food processing, brewing process, meat processing and soft beverage formulas as well as in Saccharin Sodium in order to remove bitterness;
       (6)Can play a certain role in metal chelation and antioxidation, used as a stabilizer for cream, cheese, margarine, fast cooked noodles or convenient noodles, wheat flour and pig lard.
2.Tech-grade
     (1)Used as a solvent for removing CO2 in the fertilizer industry, as an additive to the galvanizing solution
     (2)Used as a PH regulator
     (3)Used as an intermediate of pesticides, e.g. a key raw material for Herbicide Glyphosate.
3.Fooder grade
     (1)Used as inducing agent in fodder additives because of its sweet taste.
5.Glycine can be used as an additive for protein hydrolysating in order to improve protein useful.
