Betaine monohydrate is a minor pathway of methionine biosynthesis as an end product of oxidative choline metabolism. Betaine inner salt monohydrate is a variant of betaine. This chemical is known for its ability to function as an osmolyte, meaning it helps maintain cell volume and fluid balance within cells by controlling the flow of water in and out. This property is in various biological processes, especially in plants and microorganisms, to withstand stress from environmental changes, such as salinity or dehydration. In industrial applications, betaine inner salt monohydrate is utilized for its compatibility with a wide range of formulations, contributing to the stability and functionality of products.
