[0002] Betaine, also known as betaine and trimethylammonium betaine, is an alkaline substance with strong hygroscopic properties. Betaine has physiological functions: it can reduce the accumulation of cholesterol and fat in blood vessels, maintain smooth blood circulation, increase blood vessel wall elasticity, and help maintain stable blood pressure. In the food industry, betaine is used as a food additive in the production of foods such as artificial meat, and has a beneficial effect on elderly health and children's growth and development. It can also adjust taste and improve flavor, interacting with the umami components of nucleotides, making foods with higher acidity or alkalinity taste fresh and delicious, and making them taste extra tender.
