Chemical Information
FooDB NameL-Theanine
DescriptionL-Theanine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamine and derivatives. Glutamine and derivatives are compounds containing glutamine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Theanine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Theanine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within tea. L-Theanine has also been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow) and mushrooms. This could make L-theanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
