1. The urinary excretion of orally administered [(14)C]benzoic acid in man and 20 other species of animal was examined. 2. At a dose of 50mg/kg, benzoic acid was excreted by the rodents (rat, mouse, guinea pig, golden hamster, steppe lemming and gerbil), the rabbit, the cat and the capuchin monkey almost entirely as hippuric acid (95-100% of 24h excretion). 3. In man at a dose of 1mg/kg and the...

A number of Mycobacteria oxidize benzoic acid and some can use it as the sole source of carbon (1). Upon addition of benzoic acid to suspensions of washed organisms in the Warburg vessel its oxidation proceeds slowly for 30 to 60 minutes, then very rapidly until about half the amount of oxygen for complete combustion is taken up. The rate then parallels that of the autorespiration. It was thoug...

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...

Experimental crystal structures of mono and polyfluorinated benzoic acids correspond to high energy computed crystal structures of benzoic acid itself, thereby permitting access to its structural landscape.

French tamarisk, Tamarix gallica L. (family Tamaricaceae) is a deciduous tree that, like other halophytes, grows in wide variety of saline habitats thanks to its powerful phenolics-based antioxidant system. Given that properties are usually linked the presence compounds with antifungal properties, work presented herein antimicrobial activity T. bark extract was investigated against four phytopa...

A new approach to protodecarboxylation is described that enhances the substrate scope for benzoic acids. The reaction uses oxidative radical conditions to decarboxylate a variety of acids in acetonitrile.

Article history: Received 24 March 2008 Received in revised form 6 August 2008 Accepted 8 August 2008 The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary inclusion of benzoic acid on utilization of the macrominerals Ca, P, Mg, K, Na, and Cl in growing pigs. Eighteen barrows, initial BW of 28±1.7 kg, were assigned to 3 diets: a basal diet based on barley, wheat, soybean meal, corn...

Thermochemolysis coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were applied to determine the structure of humic acids (HA) extracted from a sewage sludge and straw mixture at different steps of composting. The HA extracted from sludge mixture released various compounds, such as mono-, di-, tri-methoxy (alkyl) benzene and (alkyl) benzoic acids, which originated from lignin like derivativ...

Five main compounds, including two iridoid glycosides (catalposide, verproside) and three phenolic compounds (luteolin, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid), were separated and prepared from the crude extract of Veronica ciliata by high-speed countercurrent chromatography. n-Hexane/n-butanol/water (1.5:5:5, v/v/v) was used for the separation of catalposide and verproside. n-Hexan...
