DL-Alanine
DL-Alanine is a racemic mixture of D- and L-alanine, a non-essential amino acid used in nutritional supplements and biochemical research. It falls under HTS 2922.49.4910 as a chemically defined amino acid, other than those with multiple oxygen functions, specifically alanine.
L-Alanine USP Grade
L-Alanine USP grade is the naturally occurring enantiomer of alanine, meeting United States Pharmacopeia standards for pharmaceutical and supplement use. Classified under HTS 2922.49.4910 as a pure, chemically defined alanine amino acid.
Alanine Sodium Salt
Alanine sodium salt is the sodium salt form of alanine used in pharmaceutical buffers and injectables. Per chapter notes, inorganic salts of amino acids remain classified with the parent organic compound under HTS 2922.49.4910.
N-Acetyl-L-Alanine
N-Acetyl-L-Alanine is an acetyl protected form of L-alanine used in peptide synthesis and research. It remains classified as alanine under HTS 2922.49.4910 since simple acylation doesn't change the principal amino acid character.
