The estimation of Succinic Acid

Xiv. the Estimation of Succinic Acid

The Antiketogenic Activity of Succinic Acid.

Koranyi and Szent-Gyorgyi have reported (1, 2) that relatively small doses of succinic acid would reduce or abolish the ketosis in diabetes. We have been unable to demonstrate this action of succinic acid. In Table I are presented three typical examples of the result of administering succinic acid to diabetic patients. All of these patients had been on their regime for some time and their diets...

Succinic Acid Content of the Cotton Plant.

Although succinic acid is known to be widely distributed in plant tissues there is only a limited amount of quantitative data on its occurrence. Studies which have been made of the changes in concentration of succinic acid during development of the tobacco plant indicate that it is to be regarded as one of the more active metabolites (4). In a previous study of the organic acids of the cotton p...

(E)-2-(Cyclo­hexyl­methyl­ene)succinic acid

The title compound, C(11)H(16)O(4), crystallizes with three molecules in the asymmetric unit. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed and these help to establish the crystal packing.

Production of succinic acid by bacterial fermentation

Succinic acid produced by various microorganisms can be used as a precursor of many industrially important chemicals in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The assessment of raw material cost and the estimation of the potential market size clearly indicate that the current petroleum-based succinic acid process will be replaced by the fermentative succinic acid production system in the...
