HCID 7405L-Pyroglutamic Acid

Procedure

20 g of monosodium glutamate (Aldrich) was mixed with 11 mL of HCl 32% and the pH was adjusted to about 2.5 (using HCl). The mixture was heated to above 100° C. in an autoclave for 10 hours. Then the solution was evaporated to dryness to obtain the L-pyroglutamic acid.
