A novel technique based on Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the transport of benzoic acid ion-pairs/salts in silicone membranes. The benzoic acid ion-pairs were prepared using various counter-ions with different degrees of lipophilicity, e.g. triethylamine (TA), diethylamine (DE), tert-butylamine (t-BA), 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol ...

an ion chromatography (ic) method for simultaneous determination of benzoic, salicylic and sorbic acids was developed. in this method the samples were purified by solid-phase extraction. the analytes were then eluted with methanol from c18 cartridge. the separation was performed on ion-exclusion column by an isocratic elution with 0.25 mmol /l sulfuric acid solution containing 20% (v/v) acetone...

Screening of phenolic constituents in leaves of Cedrela serrata, Toona ciliata, Azadirachta indica and Melia azedarach was done by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The phenolic compounds were identified by comparison with authentic standards. The phenolic acids identified in all plants leaves extract were gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, ...

The conjugation of benzoic acid with glycine, resulting in the formation of hippuric acid, takes place in liver (1) and kidney (2). The urinary output of this conjugate after the administration of benzoate is used to measure this aspect of hepatic function (3). Theoretically, decreased hippuric acid formation may be due to hepatic and/or renal disease or to an inadequate supply of glycine. In t...

This research included synthesizing a series of heterocyclic compounds where the compound 2-chloroacetohydrazide was synthesized from ethyl chloroethanoate with Hydrazine hydrate 95%. The reaction carried out in cold condition. 2-(pyrimidin-2-ylamino)acetohydrazide prepared by A1 2-amino pyrimidine absolute ethanol using Potassium hydroxide (KOH); then 2-(pyrimidin-2-ylamino) acetohydrazide dif...

Yeasts grown in the presence of benzoic acid tolerated 40 to 100% higher benzoic acid concentrations than did those grown in the absence of weak-acid-type preservatives. They also accumulated less benzoate in the presence of glucose. In chemostat cultures, benzoic acid reduced growth yield and the rate of cell production but increased specific fermentation rates. Benzoate contents were lower th...

Benzoic acids are highly important structural motifs in drug molecules and natural products. Selective C-H bond functionalization of benzoic acids will provide synthetically useful tools for step-economical organic synthesis. Although direct ortho-C-H functionalizations of benzoic acids or their derivatives have been intensely studied, the ability to activate meta-C-H bond of benzoic acids or t...

The aim of this study is to estimate dietary intake of benzoic acid and its salts through food additives in adult population of South East Serbia. Information on dietary intake among 620 adults (aged 18-65) was collected using a food frequency questionnaire, and 748 food samples were analyzed. The mean estimated intake of benzoic acid -0.32 mg/kg of body weight (bw) per day was below acceptable...

We report on nanoindentation data for two pairs of polymorphic compounds p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA) and p-nitrobenzoic (pNBA) compare it with existing in the literature. also explore a new parameter, s-PBC, as tool to estimate hardness.

Benzoic acid is oxidized by certain Mycobacteria (1). They do not oxidize it completely to carbon dioxide and water; the oxygen uptake usually stops when 5 atoms of oxygen are utilized for each molecule of benzoic acid. The enzymes concerned are adaptive, and are rapidly formed when small amounts of benzoic acid are added to suspensions of the bacteria (2). Benzoic acid may be considered somewh...
