摘要
L-茶氨酸是茶叶中的特征氨基酸,具有改善食品风味、放松减压、增强抗肿瘤药物疗效等多种功能。本文介绍了L-茶氨酸的生理功能及其在食品、保健品和医药领域中的应用,并重点对L-茶氨酸的酶法合成进行了综述,在此基础上探讨了工业化生产L-茶氨酸的未来可能的研究方向,以期为利用酶法实现L-茶氨酸的工业化生产提供参考依据。
L-theanine (γ-glutamylethylamide), a unique non-protein-derived amino acid in tea, has a broad range of bioactivities, such as improving food flavor, releasing pressure and enhancing the efficiency of anticancer agents. Herein, the physiological and pharmacological activities of L-theanine and its applications in food, health and medical industries are summarized with focus on the enzymatic synthesis of L-theanine. Moreover, directions for future research are also discussed in the hope of providing a guideline for the large-scale industrial production of L-theanine.
