L-Phenylalanine (C₉H₁₁NO₂), having the morphology of spherulitic needles, an amino acid constituent, responsible for brain nutrition is crystallized in silica gel of pH 6.0 by single diffusion method in a period of 30 minutes. The grown crystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy and Visible Ultraviolet spectroscopy.
