3-Hydroxybenzoic acid is a component of castoreum, the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European beaver (Castor fiber), used in perfumery. It can also be formed by a Pseudomonas species from 3-Chlorobenzoic acid. [2] 3-Hydroxybenzoic Acid can be found in the pineapple fruit as well.
Included in that class are substances containing a phenolic ring and an organic carboxylic acid function (C6-C1 skeleton). Two important naturally occurring types of phenolic acids are hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids, which are derived from non-phenolic molecules of benzoic and cinnamic acid, respectively. [1]
4-Hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), is a monohydroxybenzoic acid, a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid.It is a white crystalline solid that is slightly soluble in water and chloroform but more soluble in polar organic solvents such as alcohols and acetone. 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid is primarily known as the basis for the preparation of its esters, known as parabens ...
Hydroxybenzoic acid may refer to several related chemical compounds: 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid) 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m ...
Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives, represented by the E numbers E210, E211, E212, and E213. Benzoic acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast [23] and some bacteria. It is either added directly or created from reactions with its sodium, potassium, or calcium salt. The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid ...
UV visible spectrum of protocatechuic acid. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a type of phenolic acid. It is a major metabolite of antioxidant polyphenols found in green tea. It has mixed effects on normal and cancer cells in in vitro and in vivo studies. [4] It is produced commercially from vanillin. [5]
Dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBA) are a type of phenolic acids. There are six main compounds, having all the same molecular formula C 7 H 6 O 4. Those are: 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (2-Pyrocatechuic acid or hypogallic acid) 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (β-Resorcylic acid) 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid) 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (γ ...
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxybenzoate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase, m-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase, and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid-6-hydroxylase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
