Use | Octanohydroxamic acid is an ideal antibacterial organic acid. It has high selective chelating ability for ferrous and ferric ions, and the growth of mold is limited in the environment of limited iron ions. At the same time, it has the best carbon chain length which can promote the degradation of cell membrane structure. Therefore, it has strong antibacterial ability and is a new substitute for preservatives. |
Risk Codes | 36/37/38 - Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. |
Safety Description | S26 - In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. S36/37/39 - Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. |

octanoyloxamic acid (CHA) has a strong inhibitory effect on fungi, and its antibacterial principle is: CHA has a high-efficiency selective chelation effect on Fe2 and Fe3. In an iron ion-limited environment, mold growth is limited. Iron is a key element for microbial growth. Microbial release chelating agent (siderophores) can capture Fe3 from the environment and convert it into Fe2. CHA chelated Fe3 has a high stability constant, which can prevent mold from obtaining iron, and it is still effective when the pH value is neutral, so it is an ideal organic acid for bacteriostasis.
