In milk and milk products, a number of organic acids naturally occur. We investigated the contents of some naturally occurred food preservatives (sorbic acid, benzoic acid, propionic acid, nitrite, and nitrate) contained in domestic and imported cheeses to establish the standard for the allowable range of food preservatives content in cheese. 8 kinds of domestic precheeses (n=104), 16 kinds of ...

In the title compound, C(11)H(11)NO(3), the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the cyclo-propane ring is 63.2 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through classical cyclic carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions [graph set R(2) (2)(8)] giving centrosymmetric dimers which are extended along the b-axis direction through amide N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions, giving o...

The title compound, C(10)H(10)O(4), crystallizes with the well-known carb-oxy-lic acid dimer-forming R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bond motif. Chains approximately parallel to (-1-12) are then built through C(methyl-ene,phen-yl)-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions [C(6) and C(8) motifs] with one (meth-yl)C-H⋯π inter-action providing inter-planar binding. The weakness of the latter inter-action is consistent wi...

In the title compound, C(6)H(6)N(4)·2C(7)H(6)O(2), the asymmetric unit contains a half-mol-ecule of biimidazole and one benzoic acid mol-ecule. The unit cell contains two biimidazole mol-ecules and four benzoic acid mol-ecules, giving the reported 2:1 ratio of benzoic acid to biimidazole. The biimidazole mol-ecule is located on an inversion center (passing through the central C-C bond). Strong ...

An application of solid-phase extraction (SPE) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was developed for the rapid determination of benzoic acid and sorbic acid in Thai rice wine and distillate products. The SPE extraction gave promising results with 95.7+1.7% recovery for benzoic acid standard, and 95.2+2.3% for sorbic acid standard. Mean relative standard deviation (RSD) fo...

Aerobic photochemical upcycling of polystyrene plastics into benzoic acid and pharmaceuticals using anthraquinone as the photocatalyst.

Diureidocalix[4]arene have been applied as new ionophore in liquid membrane electrode (ISE) sensitive towards un-dissociated benzoic acid. The electrode demonstrated response towards benzoic acid with the detection limit 2.0 x 10 M which is sufficient for the determination of benzoic acid added to beverages as preservative in milimolar concentration. The selectivity coefficients measured by the...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(6)Br(2)O(2), the carboxyl groups are involved in pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into inversion dimers.

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C(19)H(15)O(3)P, are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid OH group and the phosphinoyl O atom, forming chains running along the crystallographic b axis.
