Abstract

The paper describes physical and chemical properties of dipeptide carnosine that is found in broiler muscles in significant amounts. It is created by a synthesis of β-alanine and L-histidine along with activity of carnosine synthetase enzyme. Carnosine exhibits significant buffering activity, especially in muscle activity with occurrence of intracellular acidification. It has antioxidative properties due to capturing active oxygen species. Recently, carnosine has been used for therapeutic purposes
