Betaine, e mōhiotia ana ko te tote ā-roto glycine trimethyl, he matū taiao kore-paitini, he kino hoki, he alkaloid amine quaternary. He karaihe ma, he rite ki te rau, ko te tātai ngota C5H12NO2, ko te taumaha ngota he 118 me te ira rewa he 293 ℃. He reka te reka, ā, he tāpiringa whāngai hou kāore e ārai i te whakatipu uri.

I kitea ka taea e te betaine te whakanui ake i te maha me te taumaha o ngā whānautanga o ngā poaka kua 21 rā te pakeke kua whakamutua te kai, te whakapoto i te wā whakawhānau i roto i ngā rā e 7 i muri i te whakamutua o te kai, me te whakapai ake i te mahi whakaputa uri; Ka taea hoki e ia te whakatairanga i te whakaputa uri o ngā kau poaka me te pakeketanga o ngā hua manu; Hei kaituku methyl, ka taea e te betaine te whakatairanga i te hanganga pūmua me te whakaiti i te taumata o te homocysteine ​​​​i roto i te serum kau poaka, kia pai ai te tipu me te whanaketanga o ngā kukune me te whakapai ake i te mahi whakaputa uri o ngā kau poaka.

Ka taea e ngā pānga rua o te betaine te whakapai ake i te whakaputangate mahi a ngā kararehei ngā wāhanga katoa o te hapūtanga, te haputanga, te whāngai ū me te whakamomona. I te wā e whakamutua ana te whāngai ū, he wero nui mō ngā kaihanga poaka te maroke o ngā poaka i puta mai i te ahotea ā-tinana. Hei kaiwhakahaere osmotic, ka taea e te betaine tūturu te whakanui ake i te pupuri me te mimiti wai me te whakaiti i te whakapaunga pūngao mā te pupuri i te taurite o te wai me ngā katote i roto i ngā pūtau. Ka heke te kaha whakaputa uri o ngā poaka kau i te raumati wera. Hei kaiwhakahaere osmotic, ka taea e te betaine te whakanui ake i te tuku pūngao o ngā poaka kau me te whakapai ake i te kaha whakaputa uri o ngā poaka kau. Mā te tāpiri i te betaine tūturu ki te whāngai ka taea te whakapai ake i te taumahatanga o te puku o ngā kararehe, ko ngā āhuatanga kino pērā i te ahotea wera ka arahi ki te ngoikore o te ngāwari o te puku. Ina piki te pāmahana o te taiao, ka rere te toto ki te kiri hei whakamarara i te wera. Ka hua ake tēnei ka heke te rere o te toto ki te ara gastrointestinal, ka pā ki te nakunaku me te whakaiti i te nakunaku o ngā matūkai.

 

Mā te takoha a te betaine ki te methylation ka taea te whakapai ake i te uara o te hua kararehe. Mā te tāpiri i te betaine ki te whāngai poaka kau ka taea te whakaiti i te ngaronga o te haputanga, te whakapai ake i te mahi whakaputa uri poaka kau, me te whakanui ake i te rahi o te uri o muri mai. Ka taea hoki e te Betaine te penapena pūngao mō ngā poaka o ngā reanga katoa, kia nui ake ai te pūngao pākia o te tinana hei whakanui ake i te mīti kikokore me te whakapai ake i te ora o te kararehe. He mea nui tēnei pānga i te wā e whakamutua ana te kai a ngā poaka kau e hiahia ana kia nui ake te pūngao hei pupuri.
