L-Phenylalanine (CAS 63-91-2) is an essential aromatic amino acid synthesized via enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation. Its molecular formula is C9H11NO2. It serves as a critical chiral building block in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Strict storage below 25°C in dry conditions is required to prevent degradation. Clinical use is restricted for patients with PKU due to metabolic inability to process phenylalanine. Handle with standard PPE to avoid respiratory irritation.
