Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4.This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4).
Oxalate oxidase (Enzyme Commission number EC 1.2.3.4 [2] )occurs mainly in plants. It can degrade oxalic acid into carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide. [3]Oxalate decarboxylase (OXDC,EC 4.1.1.2) is a kind of oxalate degrading enzyme containing Mn 2+, [4] found mainly in fungi or some bacteria.
Calcium oxalate (in archaic terminology, oxalate of lime) is a calcium salt of oxalic acid with the chemical formula CaC 2 O 4 or Ca(COO) 2. It forms hydrates CaC 2 O 4 ·nH 2 O, where n varies from 1 to 3. Anhydrous and all hydrated forms are colorless or white.
The toxicity of oxalic acid is due to kidney failure caused by precipitation of solid calcium oxalate. [67] Oxalate is known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction. [68] Ingestion of ethylene glycol results in oxalic acid as a metabolite which can also cause acute kidney failure.
It consists of ammonium cations ([NH 4] +) and oxalate anions (C 2 O 2− 4). The structure of ammonium oxalate is ([NH 4] +) 2 [C 2 O 4] 2−. Ammonium oxalate sometimes comes as a monohydrate ([NH 4] 2 C 2 O 4 ·H 2 O). It is a colorless or white salt under standard conditions and is odorless and non-volatile. It occurs in many plants and ...
Kale is a superstar among dark leafy greens when it comes to supporting bones. Klunk explains that while some leafy greens, like spinach, are high in oxalates and can inhibit calcium absorption ...
The stalks of rhubarb that you find at the grocery store are entirely safe to eat—but the leaves are toxic. “The leaves are very high in oxalates, so you should not consume the inedible and ...
