Known worldwide, CA (2-hydroxy-propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid) is the oldest acid discovered, as it was isolated in 1784 by Scheele from lemon juice (naturally present in citric fruits). It is a weak organic acid in white crystal form with molecular weight of 210.14 Da, low toxicity,...
Ferulic acid(4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid,Figure 8.6) is a potent antioxidant present in cell walls of grains, fruits, and vegetables where it is conjugated with mono-, di-, andpolysaccharidesand other compounds. Likevitamin E,ferulic acidinterrupts UV-induced peroxidative chain reactions inpho...

Short amylopectin chains present in starch of UBF was attributed to low To, Tp, Tc and ΔH values recorded for Mabonde cultivar, while the contribution of heat-moisture treatment rather than organic acid pretreatment of UBF samples was attributed to different gelatinization and transition ...
Reactivity ProfileMyristic acid is a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by...
The degradation of 4-HBA is associated with Xcc virulence in cabbage. The present study generated a reporter strain XC1::PpobA-gusA to monitor pobA transcription. 4-HBA-like compounds were screened for their ability to interfere with pobA transcription. Benzoic acid (BA) was found to ...
Under physiological conditions, lactic acid is ionized and thus present in the lactate form. Both lactic acid and lactate exist ind- andl-isomeric forms (Fig. 2.3). After formation, lactate can be released from one cell into the interstitial space and blood compartment to serve as a precursor...
Citric acidis a nontoxic tricarboxylic acid naturally present in citrus fruits.Citric acidhas a wide range of applications in food, pharmaceutical, andbeverage industries. It is used a natural preservative, flavor enhancer, antioxidant,emulsifier, etc. Acid hydrolysis andenzymatic hydrolysismethods are ...
