Table 1 summarizes important physical characteristics of Rhodimet
AT 88. Whereas DL-methionine is neutral, DL-methionine-hydroxy-analogue
acid has a pH of 1.0. The viscosity is about 105 centistokes at
25°C with a crystallization temperature of about - 40°C. Generally
the viscosity of Rhodimet AT 88 increases as the temperature
decreases.
