Benzoic acid is occasionally used as a raw material supplement in food products and is sometimes generated during the fermentation process. In this study, the production of naturally occurring yogurt preservatives was investigated for various starter cultures and incubation temperatures, and considered food regulations. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbru...

In general, creation of superhydrophobic surfaces is composed of two steps: (i) creation of a rough surface and (ii) passivation of the surface with the low surface energy molecules or coatings. Superhydrophobic properties cannot be achieved on a surface without these two essential factors fulfilled. In the present work we have demonstrated that superhydrophobic silver films on copper (Cu) subs...

The specific set of reactions that lead to the synthesis of benzoic acid in plants is still unclear, and even the subcellular compartment in which these reactions occur is unknown. Biosynthesis of both vegetative tissues and seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana contain a class of defense compounds termed glucosinolates, but only the seeds synthesize and store high levels of two glucosinolate compounds...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(9)NO(2), contains three crystallographically independent mol-ecules, which are essentially planar, the carboxyl O atoms deviating by 0.091 (3), 0.101 (2) and 0.164 (3) Å from the mean plane through the non-H atoms. In the crystal, all three mol-ecules form O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded about inversion centers, forming eight-membered rings with graph-set ...

In this study some new compounds have been prepared including thereaction of diazoium salt 1,4-phenylenediamine with 2-mercaptobenzaldehyde at (0-5)0C[F1]. Then Schiff bases [F2-F6] werethen synthesized through the reaction compound [F1] withsubstituteds aniline in absolute ethanol, and were convertedinto 2,3 - dihyroquinazolin 4(1H) one derivatives [F7-F11] by 2-amino benzoic acid ethanol. The...

Microwave heating greatly accelerates Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of aromatic acids and aryl iodides, and allows the coupling of benzoic acids with unactivated arenes.

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...

In the title compound, C(8)H(5)F(3)O(2), a halogenated derivative of benzoic acid, the carboxyl group is tilted by 16.8 (3)° with respect to the plane of the aromatic ring. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding gives rise to carb-oxy-lic acid dimers, which are further connected into double chains along [1,1/4,1] by C-H⋯O contacts. C-H⋯F and C-F⋯π contacts are also observed.
