The urban myth that taurine is derived from bull sperm is false. Taurine is present in bull sperm, but that is not the source of taurine in your beverages. Taurine, like many other additives in today's foods, is synthesized in a lab.
Chemical Synthesis There are two main approached that are commonly used to obtain taurine via chemical reactions.
The first involves a reaction between ethylene oxide and sodium bisulfite to form isethionic acid, which is then used to obtain the synthetic form of taurine. The second uses the chemical reaction between aziridine and sulfurous acid to obtain taurine in a single reactive process.
