Product Description
Pyruvic acid, also known as a-oxopropionic acid, is an organic matter with chemical formula C3H4O3 and structure CH3COCOOH. It is an important intermediate for the metabolism of sugars in all biological cells and the mutual transformation of various substances in the body. The molecule contains activated ketone and carboxyl groups. Therefore, as a basic chemical raw material, it is widely used in various fields such as chemistry, pharmaceutical, food, agriculture and environmental protection, and can be prepared by various methods of chemical synthesis and biotechnology.

Application
Function of Pyruvic acid
1. Pyruvic acid is an intermediate in sugar metabolism and in enzymatic carbohydrate degradation (alcoholic fermentation) where it is converted to CO2 by carboxylase. In muscle, Pyruvic acid (derived from glycogen) is reduced to lactic acid during exertion, which is reoxidized and partially retransformed to glycogen during rest. The liver can convert Pyruvic acid to alanine by amination.
