2. Detailed Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Properties
- Appearance: White orthorhombic crystalline powder, uniform particle size, no caking, no foreign impurities
- Odor: Completely odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water; insoluble in ethanol, acetone, ether and other organic solvents
- pH Value (10% aqueous solution): 4.1 ~ 5.6, weak acid
- Melting Point: Decompose at above 300℃, no clear melting point
- Boiling Point: Decompose severely under high temperature without fixed boiling point
- Hygroscopicity: Non-hygroscopic, stable under normal air storage
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Structural Characteristic: Sulfonic acid group instead of carboxylic acid group, cannot form peptide bonds with other amino acids
- Acid-base Stability: Stable in neutral, weak acid and weak alkaline environment; resistant to common food processing temperature
- Thermal Stability: No decomposition under regular high-temperature sterilization of food; long-term heating over 280℃ leads to carbonization decomposition
- Chemical Inactivity: Low reactivity, hardly reacts with general food raw materials and cosmetic excipients
- Safety Performance: Fully metabolizable by human body, no cumulative toxicity, safe for long-term oral intake
