Biology Definition: Pyruvic acid is a water-soluble, organic liquid that is produced by breaking down carbohydrates and sugars through the glycolytic pathway (glycolysis). Ifoxygenis available, pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl coenzyme A that enters the energy-producing pathway, theKrebs cycle. ...
In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Fermentation is a system in which pyruvic acid, obtained as an end substance in the process of microbial energy production using sugars such as glucose, is converted into various useful substances for humans by the microbial metabolic syst...

well-known for its use as herbal tea, is increasingly studied for its metabolic benefits. Prospective studies linking diet rich in polyphenols from rooibos to reduced diabetes associated cardiovascular complications have not been extensively assessed. Aspalathin, a flavonoid, and phenylpyruvic acid-2-O...
Citric acid, an important organic acid in the TCA cycle, serves as a critical node where acetyl-CoA enters for energy generation. Citric acid itself also has applications as a preservative used in cosmetics, food and beverage industries. This compound has historically been produced through submerged...
