Ácido asparagínico

Definición:

También llamado ácido asparagínico, es uno de los aminoácidos no esenciales. "No esencial" significa que el cuerpo lo produce incluso si las personas no obtienen dicho aminoácido de los alimentos que ingieren.

Los aminoácidos son los bloques edificadores para las proteínas, las cuales tienen muchas funciones en el cuerpo; las enzimas son un tipo de éstas.

El ácido aspártico se encuentra principalmente en la caña de azúcar y en las melasas.
