چکیده

Dietary benzoic acid (BA) supplementation causes a pronounced reduction in urinary pH but only small changes in blood pH. The present study aimed to investigate the portal absorption profile, hepatic metabolism of BA, and renal excretion of hippuric acid (HA) underlying the relatively small impact of BA on systemic acid-base status. Eight growing pigs (BW = 63 +/- 1 kg at sampling) fitted with permanent indwelling catheters in the abdominal aorta, hepatic portal vein, hepatic vein, and mesenteric vein were allocated to 4 sampling blocks and randomly assigned to control (CON; nonsupplemented diet) or BA supplementation (B; control diet + 1% BA top-dressed). Feed intake was restricted to 3.6% of BW and the ration divided into 3 equally sized meals offered at 8-h intervals. Blood pH (7.465 and 7.486 +/- 0.004) and urinary pH (4.99 and 7.01 +/- 0.09) were less (P = 0.03 and P < 0.01) in B compared with CON. The arterial concentration, net portal flux, and net hepatic uptake of BA increased (P < 0.01) in B compared with CON. The net portal flux of BA increased (P < 0.01) after feeding with B, but remained positive (P < 0.01) at all sampling times (n = 8). Recovery of dietary BA as increased net portal flux and hepatic uptake of BA was 87 +/- 5% and 89 +/- 15%, respectively. The recovery of dietary BA as urinary excretion of BA and HA was 0.08 +/- 0.02% and 85 +/- 7%, respectively. It is concluded that the small impact of BA supplementation on systemic acid-base status was caused by a protracted BA absorption and efficient hepatic extraction and glycine conjugation in combination with efficient renal clearance of HA. Together, these physiological mechanisms prevented major BA and HA accumulation in body fluids.

Influence of benzoic acid and phytase in low-phosphorus diets on bone characteristics in growing-finishing pigs.

In 2 simultaneous experiments (Exp. 1 and Exp. 2), the effects of benzoic acid (BA) and phytase (Phy) in low-P diets on bone metabolism, bone composition, and bone stability in growing and growing-finishing pigs were examined. Experiment 1 was conducted with 16 crossbred gilts in the BW range of 25 to 66 kg of BW, whereas in Exp. 2, 32 crossbred gilts (25 to 108 kg of BW) were used. All pigs we...

Kinetic Studies of the Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene to Benzoic Acid in the Liquid Phase

The catalytic oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid in the liquid phase has been studied in an un-stirred tank reactor. Low concentration of acetic acid was added in order to increase the solubility of the catalyst in toluene. The dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of toluene catalyst and oxygen pressure was studied. It has been suggested that liquid phase oxidation of t...
