cr(iii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii) salts of 2-(4-nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid were characterized by physical, analytical and spectroscopic studies and checked for their  in-vitro antimicrobial activity against three bacterial strains, mycobacterium smegmatis (gram +ve), escherichia coli (gram -ve), pseudomonas aeuroginosa (gram -ve) and three fungal strains, nigrospora oryzae, ...

The mechanisms by which the weak acid preservative benzoic acid inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been investigated. A reduction in the pyruvate kinase level, which decreases glycolytic flux, did not increase the sensitivity of yeast to benzoic acid. However, a decrease in 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PF1K), which does not affect glycolytic flux, did increase sensitivity to benz...

The roles of benzoic acid and water on the Michael reaction of pentanal and nitrostyrene catalyzed by diarylprolinol silyl ether are revealed by density functional theory calculations. The calculations demonstrate that the benzoic acid is ready to attack the catalysts and form a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen atom of the COOH of benzoic acid and one of the N atoms of the catalyst. The compl...

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...

The title compound [systematic name: benzoic acid-pyrrolidin-1-ium-2-carboxyl-ate (1/1)], C7H6O2·C5H9NO2, is an example of the application of non-centrosymmetric co-crystallization for the growth of a crystal containing a typically centrosymmetric component in a chiral space group. It co-crystallizes in the space group P212121 and contains benzoic acid and l-proline in equal proportions. The cr...

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...

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...
