Application
Biochemical Functions of Betaine:
1. An osmoprotectant that preseves cellular functions, by maintaining the ionic and water balance within cells, betaine helps protect the structural integrity activities of enzymes, preserving normal cellular functions. So betaine could reduces endogenous heat production and improves heat stress tolerance and Promotes cellular survival and improves systemic functions.
2. Betaine is an effective methyl donor that improves methionine and choline bio-efficacy
Plays a critical role in the recycling of homocysteine back to methionine, bypassing the need to convert choline to betaine, Methylation is critical to gene expression regulation, and protein and fat metabolism. So betaine could Improve dietary energy efficiency and lowers feed cost, Reduces serum homocysteine and overall stress and Promotes lymphocyte proliferation and immunity.
Betaine effects in feed additive
1. Betaine is an efficient methyl group supplier and can be used to partially replace methionine and choline chloride in feed rations to decrease formulation costs.
2. Betaine has been found to increase lean weight gain and improve the meat quality.
3. Betaine has been found to be highly effective in increasing the survival rate of juvenile fish and shrimp.
4. Betaine provides enhanced stability for other micronutrients such as Vitamins A and B and other nutrients in the premix. It is free from the acidity that Betaine Hydrochloride carries, thus the most tasty one in betaine series.
Betaine could also be used in cosmetics, agroforestry, disinfectant or fermentation and medicine.
