CAS | 3081-61-6 |
Molecular formula | C7H14N2O3 |
Molecular Weight | 174.2 |
Purity | 98.0%min L-Theanine |

L-Theanine is isolated from green tea, is the characteristic amino acid of tea, and is also one of the flavor presenting substances of tea. There are more than twenty kinds of amino acids in tea,l-theanine accounts for about 50% to 60% of the total amino acids in tea. L Theanine is a characteristic amino acid in tea, synthesized by glutamic acid and ethylamine under the action of the enzyme theanine synthase in the root of the tea tree, it is an important substance in the formation of tea flavor, mainly manifested as freshness and sweetness, and it is the main component of tea to produce sweetness. L Theanine is also regarded as the characteristic amino acid of tea. As the highest content of characteristic non-protein amino acids in tea, theanine is safe and non-toxic, with antioxidant, immune regulation, aging, antagonism of glutamate excess and cellular excitotoxicity and other biological activities.

Function and Application:
1. Theanine can be used as used as a food additive, such as a flavoring agent. It is mainly used as the flavor component of green tea.
2. Theanine has effects such as relaxing nervous tension.
3. L-Theanine has flavor improvement effect, also has the function of enhancing immunity and lowering blood pressure.L-Theanine can promote the learning and memory function of the brain, and effectively enhance the liver detoxification function. In addition, theanine also has a hypotensive effect, L Theanine powder can be made into L-Theanine supplement, such as L-Theanine capsules.
4. Theanine has a certain neuroprotective effect, it can reduce oxidative damage and inflammatory response of nerve cells by regulating intracellular signaling pathways.
