Chemical Information
FooDB NameL-Tyrosine
DescriptionL-Tyrosine, also known as Tyr or tirosina, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tyrosine and derivatives. Tyrosine and derivatives are compounds containing tyrosine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of tyrosine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Tyrosine is an odorless tasting compound. L-Tyrosine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as casein, milk (cow), and other soy product and in a lower concentration in waffle, cracker, and garden tomato (var.). L-Tyrosine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as hawthorns (Crataegus), sourdough, root vegetables, ohelo berries (Vaccinium reticulatum), and black raisin. This could make L-tyrosine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Tyrosine.
