Possible Interaction: Lysine and Sodium Chloride

“The addition of lysine and yeast extract increased the sensory acceptance and decreased rancid aroma, salty taste, and aftertaste of salted meat made with a blend of NaCl + KCl + CaCl2, with no differences in the physiochemical quality parameters.”

“ Sodium chloride concentrations of 1 mol/l reduce interaction of the enzyme to lysine by about 60% at pH 7.4.”

“On the other hand, sodium chloride retarded the browning reaction rate of proteins as measured with polymerization degree or by the loss of Lys.”

“Therefore, potassium, magnesium, and/or l-lysine of the salt alternative produced a powerful protection against the harmful effects of sodium chloride.”

“Abstract The effects of NaCl on the amino acid acceptor activity of rat liver tRNA was studied, and it was established that NaCl causes alterations of the acceptor activities for valine, lysine , leucine, and phenylalanine.”

“During a study of the effects of a high level of NaCl on the content of free intracellular amino … of glucose it was found (Malaneyet al. 1988, 1989; Malaney and Tanner 1988) that 0.6 mol/L exogenous NaCl significantly increased …, arginine and lysine (all basic amino … exogenous NaCl. (”

“For early culture times (6 h), the production of glutamine, citrulline, valine, isoleucine, ornithine, lysine and histidine were all enhanced by the addition of NaCl.”
