[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of phenylalanine removal, in particular to a low-phenylalanine-rich diet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phenylketonuria is a congenital, autosomal, single-gene recessive genetic disease. Due to the deficiency or reduced activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase or its coenzyme tetrahydrobiopterin in the liver of patients, the phenylalanine in the body cannot be converted into tyrosine along the normal metabolic pathway, but is converted into phenylpyruvic acid and phenyllactic acid through transamination under the catalysis of phenylalanine transaminase, and the generated phenylpyruvic acid and phenyllactic acid are transferred to urine and then excreted with urine to form phenylketonuria, so the disease is called phenylketonuria.

[0003] From the pathogenesis of phenylketonuria, the disease can be treated by reducing the concentration of phenylalanine in the blood of patients and increasing the activity of phenylalanine hydroxylase or tetrahydrobiopterin, and the main treatment methods include gene therapy, enzyme therapy and dietary therapy; among them, the dietary therapy controls and relieves the disease by limiting the content of phenylalanine in the diet, and is considered to be the safest, most feasible and effective treatment method.
