Sialic acid

Sialic acid Sialic acid is a derivative of a 9-carbon monosaccharide. The name comes from the Greek word (σιαλοσ (sialos) ‘saliva’) which is a negatively charged ion that gives saliva a smooth feel. Not only does it have the effect of "inducing" invading bacteria, cognition is a transmitter of gangliosides, and it is an integral part of the brain.

Introduction
Sialic acid (SA), scientifically called "N-acetylneuraminic acid", is a naturally occurring carbohydrate. It was originally isolated from the submandibular gland mucin, hence the name. Sialic acid is usually present in the form of oligosaccharides, glycolipids or glycoproteins. In the human body, the brain has the highest sialic acid content. The content of sialic acid in the gray matter of the brain is 15 times that of internal organs such as liver and lung. The main food source of sialic acid is breast milk, which is also found in milk, eggs and cheese.
