Question

similarities and differences between adipic acid and benzoic​ acid

Answer 1

Benzoic acid is a byproduct of phenylalanine metabolism in bacteria.Adipic acid is a white crystalline solid. It is insoluble in water. The primary hazard is threat to the environment. It is used to make plastics and foams.

It occurs rarely in nature. It has a tart taste and is also used as an additive and gelling agent in jello or gelatins. It is also used in some calcium carbonate antacids to make tart. Adipic acid has incorporated into controlled-release formulation matrix tablets to obtain pH-independent release for both weakly basic and weakly acidic drugs. Adipic acid in the urine and in the blood is exogenous in origin and is a good biomarker of jello consumption.

Benzoic acid is a fungistatic compound that is widely used as a food preservative. It is conjugated to glycine in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid.

Benzoic acid is a Nitrogen Binding Agent. The mechanism of benzoic acid is as an Ammonium Ion Binding Activity.

Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, is a colorless crystalline solid and the aromatic carboxylic acid. Benzoic acid occurs naturally free and bound as benzoic acid esters in many plant and animal species.

Benzoic acid occurs naturally free and bound as benzoic acid esters in many plant and animal species. Appreciable amounts have been found in most berries (around 0. 05%).

Benzoic acid is a byproduct of phenylalanine metabolism in bacteria. It is produced when gut bacteria process polyphenols (from ingested fruits or beverages).
