Hippuric acid also occurs in avocadoes (Persea americana) and common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). As its chemical name suggests, the compound is formed by the reaction of benzoic acid and glycine in ...

For Benzoic acid in carbonated soft drinks, the standard or permissible limit set by Codex was 600mg/kg until recently reviewed to 250mg/kg in 2016 (CODEX STAN 192–1995 revised 2015 and 2016 ...

Chemists have discovered a way to use light and oxygen to upcycle polystyrene -- a type of plastic found in many common items -- into benzoic acid, a product stocked in undergraduate and high ...

Molten salts at intermediate temperatures enable efficient carbonate-promoted carboxylation of very weakly acidic C–H bonds, revealing a new way to transform inedible biomass and carbon dioxide ...

Benzaldehdye spontaneously oxidizes to benzoic acid in air, however it can be formed cleanly by the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Here the authors provide an explanation for this unusual behaviour ...

The chemical structure of cinnamic acid is a ring with a three-carbon chain coming off the side. The findings show that four enzymes work to remove two of those carbon molecules, resulting in benzoic ...

Analyzing the acid value, hydroxyl value, and isocyanate content is essential for evaluating the quality of raw materials used in plastic production. The acid number of polyol raw material is ...

Kids Discover That EpiPens May Not Work in Space After returning from space, the life-saving drug epinephrine had partially changed into poisonous benzoic acid ...
