Description Amino acids and esters are used in pharmaceuticals, food products, and as flavor additives. Amino acids contain an amine group and an acid group, which give them the ability to act as a buffer. This buffer can counteract the low pH of the stomach, which is 1-2, which can damage the stomach lining. The amine group can also act as a neurotransmitter.
