What is a Asparagine (C₄H₈N₂O₃)?

Asparagine (C₄H₈N₂O₃) is a non-essential amino acid that can be synthesized by the body, meaning it is not required to be obtained directly from the diet. Asparagine plays a key role in protein synthesis and is involved in the production of certain neurotransmitters, influencing cell functions and growth.

Asparagine is found in various foods, including asparagus, soybeans, nuts, and grains. In addition to its natural occurrence in food, asparagine is also used in the food industry to influence the flavor and taste of processed foods, often serving as an amino acid supplement or seasoning agent.
