Sarcosine

Sarcosine (N-methylglycine) is a natural amino acid that is not built into proteins, found in muscle and other tissues: it is an intermediate in the conversion of choline into glycine and is used to make biodegradable surfactants and toothpastes. This family brings together the active ingredient, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It was isolated and named in 1847 by Justus von Liebig, who obtained it from creatine; the name recalls the Greek sarx, flesh. In 1862 Jacob Volhard synthesised it, proving it was N-methylglycine.
