Phenylalanine is not used in soda pop.
However, Diet Soda pop may contain the artificial sweetener Aspartame . This compound, sold under the trade names "Equal" and "NutraSweet", is metabolized by the body into several chemical byproducts including phenylalanine.
The breakdown problems phenylketonurics have with protein and the attendant build up of phenylalanine in the body also occurs with the ingestion of aspartame, although to a lesser degree. Accordingly, all products in Australia, the U.S. and Canada that contain aspartame must be labeled: "Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine." In the UK, foods containing aspartame must carry ingredient panels that refer to the presence of "aspartame or E951" and they must be labeled with a warning "Contains a source of phenylalanine." These warnings are specifically placed to aid individuals who suffer from PKU so that they can avoid such foods.
What else can I help you with?
Which enzyme breaks down phenylalanine?
The enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase breaks down phenylalanine into tyrosine. This enzyme is essential for the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine in the body. Deficiency in this enzyme can lead to a build-up of phenylalanine, which can result in a condition called phenylketonuria (PKU).
Does Phenylalanine have the same effect as Apartame does?
Phenylalanine is a component in aspartame.
How much phenylalanine does Dr Pepper 10 have?
It has 718mg of phenylalanine.
What is phe system?
The Phe (phenylalanine) system refers to the metabolic pathway involved in the breakdown of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. In individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder, the body lacks the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, leading to the accumulation of phenylalanine, which can cause brain damage and cognitive impairment. Management of the Phe system in PKU typically involves dietary restrictions to limit phenylalanine intake and sometimes the use of supplements to ensure proper nutrition. Regular monitoring of blood phenylalanine levels is crucial for individuals with this condition.
Is there anything bad in phenylalanine?
No, it is simply put on packages and soda cans because there is a specific disease that can harm people if they ingest it. The disease is phenylketonuria, or PKU. It is a genetic disorder that keeps your body from metabolizing phenylalanine, which is an amino acid. If you have PKU and eat too much phenylalanine, it will cause mental retardation. NutraSweet has phenylalanine in it, so they don't want PKU sufferers to use it for obvious reasons. So...phenylalanine is okay for you if you don't have PKU.
Is phenylalanine a compound?
Phenylalanine is a compound. Specifically it is 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid.
What is the molecular formula for Phenylalanine?

What are the DNA codons for phenylalanine?
There are two codons that code for the amino acid phenylalanine: UUU and UUC.
If you add pepsi to barbecue sauce will it taste good?

What is the difference between a pepsi Can and a can of Pepsi?

What codon codes for amino acids phenylalanine did scientist find?
There are two codons that code for the amino acid phenylalanine: UUU and UUC.
