Metabolite Identification
Common NameRacemethionine
DescriptionRacemethionine, also known as DL-methionine or hmet, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methionine and derivatives. Methionine and derivatives are compounds containing methionine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of methionine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Methionine is an alpha-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH2SCH3. This essential amino acid is classified as nonpolar. Racemethionine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Racemethionine is a mild, acidic, and sulfurous tasting compound. Racemethionine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as wheats, oats, and ryes and in a lower concentration in spinachs, white cabbages, and green zucchinis. Racemethionine is used as a flavouring ingredient and dietary supplement.
