Food

Used as a biochemical reagent, used in medicine, feed and food additives, and used as a non-toxic decarbonizer in the nitrogen fertilizer industry;
Nutritional supplements. Mainly used for seasoning, etc.;
It has a certain inhibitory effect on the reproduction of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Therefore, it can be used as a preservative for surimi products, peanut butter, etc., with an addition amount of 1% to 2%;
Antioxidant effect (using its metal chelation) added to cream, cheese, and margarine can prolong the shelf life by 3 to 4 times;
In order to stabilize the lard in the baked goods, 2.5% glucose and 0.5% glycine can be added;
Add 0.1% to 0.5% of wheat flour for instant noodles, and it can also serve as a seasoning effect;

According to my country's GB 2760-96, it can be used as a spice.

Medicine
Used as a medicine for medical microbiology and biochemical amino acid metabolism research;
Used as chlortetracycline buffer \ anti-Parkinson's disease drug L-dopa\ vitamin B6\ and the synthetic raw material of amino acids such as threonine;
Treatment of myasthenia gravis and progressive muscle atrophy;
Treatment of hyperesteremia and chronic enteritis (usually combined with antacids);
Combined use with aspirin can reduce its irritation to the stomach;
Treatment of hyperprolineemia in children;
As a nitrogen source for generating non-essential amino acids, it is added to the mixed amino acid injection.

Function:

Agriculture
It is mainly used as an additive and attractant to increase amino acids in feeds for poultry, livestock and poultry, especially pets. Used as a hydrolyzed protein additive, as a synergist of hydrolyzed protein;
In pesticide production, it is used to synthesize pyrethroid insecticide intermediate glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride, and it can also synthesize fungicide iprodione and herbicide solid glyphosate.

Industry
Electroplating bath additives;
Used in the pharmaceutical industry, biochemical tests and organic synthesis;
Used as the raw material of cephalosporins, thiamphenicol intermediates, synthetic imidazole acetic acid intermediates, etc.;
Used as a raw material for cosmetics.

Reagent
Used in peptide synthesis, used as amino acid protection monomer;
Used for the preparation of tissue culture medium and the inspection of copper, gold and silver;
Because glycine is a zwitterion with amino and carboxyl groups, it has strong buffering properties and is often used as a buffer for preparation;
Complexometric titration indicator, solvent.
