PURPOSE: To easily obtain γ-type glycine useful as a processed food additive, a raw material for medicines/agrochemicals, etc., in an industrially advantageous way by keeping α-type glycine in an aqueous glycine solution at a specified pH level and transforming the α-type glycine into γ-type glycine pin crystal state to effect crystallization without the need of adding any fresh γ-type glycine. ;CONSTITUTION: Alpha-type glycine (A) is kept in an aqueous glycine solution adjusted to pH 7-14 (esp. pH10-14) by the addition of an additive (B) such as hydroxide, carbonate or oxide of an alkali (alkaline earth) metal, or glycine alkali (alkaline earth) metal salt (for example, the additive B is added to an aqueous glycine solution to effect pH adjustment followed by addition of the α-type glycine and keeping the α-type glycine in the solution) to effect transformation of the α-type glycine in crystal state into the objective γ-type glycine, according as necessary, under heating.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
