Uses
DL-Methionine Methylsulfonium Chloride is a compound comprised of γ-glutamyl peptide and amino acid that have a sucrose-like taste. Vitamin U (DL-methionine methylsulfonium
chloride) is a natural methionine-derivative,
found as an active component in the
methionine cycle of plants where it serves as
a substrate for methyl transferases
(Augspurger et al., 2005). Historically this
compound has been utilized as either a cure or preventative against gastric and duodenal
ulcers (Nakamura et al., 1981).
