摘要
The effect of added amino acid (glycine, alanine and serine) on the solubility of zinc citrate, zinc succinate and zinc oxalate was investigated. Equilibrated solutions were prepared and titrated to endpoint at pH 5.5 with Na(2)EDTA using Xylenol Orange indicator. In every case, a significant enhancement in solubility was seen as the amino acid increased from 1 to 50 molar excess. The increase was non-linear, and, with zinc succinate, showed saturation effects. In these cases, solution composition may be more complicated than initially thought, including mixed-ligand complexes and increasing percent free metal ion as the proportion of amino acid increases.
