Chemical Information

FooDB Name

L-Leucine

Description

(±)-Leucine, also known as DL-leucine or hleu, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as leucine and derivatives. Leucine and derivatives are compounds containing leucine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of leucine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Thus, (±)-leucine is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule (±)-Leucine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (±)-Leucine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as red bell peppers, green zucchinis, and italian sweet red peppers and in a lower concentration in green bell peppers. This could make (±)-leucine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
