Chemical Information
FooDB NameL-Serine
DescriptionL-Serine, also known as 3-hydroxyalanine or serin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as serine and derivatives. Serine and derivatives are compounds containing serine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of serine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Thus, L-serine is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. L-Serine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. L-Serine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as caseins, red bell peppers, and milk (cow) and in a lower concentration in yellow wax beans, butternut squash, and swiss chards. L-Serine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cascade huckleberries, rocket salad (ssp.), alaska wild rhubarbs, climbing beans, and liquorices. This could make L-serine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
