traits | ethyl paraben is white powder and odorless. Strong corrosion resistance. Its antibacterial power is stronger than benzoic acid and sorbic acid. |
use | ethyl paraben is a water-soluble preservative, which is mainly characterized by safety, high efficiency and broad spectrum antibacterial. Widely used in pharmaceutical industry, food industry and textile industry. p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters have strong inhibitory effect on mold and yeast, especially on lactic acid bacteria and gram-negative bacilli, but their antibacterial ability is stronger than sorbic acid and benzoic acid, and their antibacterial effect is not affected by PH, and the effect is good within the PH4-8 range. The longer the alkyl group of p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester, the stronger the antibacterial effect, which is butyl ester> propyl ester> ethyl ester. Parabens are one of the preservatives commonly used in the world. Our country stipulates that the maximum dosage is 0.5 g/kg (calculated as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, the same below); The maximum usage amount is 0.25 g/kg in fruit juice (flavor) beverage, jam (excluding canned food), soy sauce and sauce. The maximum usage amount in carbonated beverage and egg yolk stuffing is 0.2 g/kg; The maximum practical quantity in vinegar is 0.1 g/kg; the maximum usage amount in fruit and vegetable preservation is 0.012 g/kg. p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters have strong inhibitory effect on mold and yeast, especially on lactic acid bacteria and gram-negative bacilli, but their antibacterial ability is stronger than sorbic acid and benzoic acid, and their antibacterial effect is not affected by pH value, and the effect is good in the range of pH value 4~8. The longer the alkyl group of p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester, the stronger the antibacterial effect, which is butyl ester> propyl ester> ethyl ester. Parabens are one of the preservatives commonly used in the world. According to the regulations of our country, the maximum usage amount is 0.5 g/kg (calculated as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, the same below); The maximum usage amount in fruit juice (flavor) beverage, jam (excluding canned food), soy sauce and sauce is 0.25 g/kg; The maximum usage amount in carbonated beverage and egg yolk stuffing is 0.2 g/kg; The maximum usage amount in vinegar is 0.1 g/kg; The maximum usage amount in fruit and vegetable preservation is 0.012 g/kg. Preservative. Ethyl and propyl esters are often used in various countries, but butyl esters are often used in Japan.

production method | esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst, crystallization in water after esterification, and then filtration and pickling to obtain the finished product. It is obtained by esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. add p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ethanol, benzene and concentrated sulfuric acid into the esterification kettle (excessive ethanol), stir and heat for esterification. After the steam is condensed through the condenser, it enters the water separator to remove the water generated by the esterification, and the benzene flows back into the esterification kettle. When the distillate no longer contains water, the residual ethanol and benzene are evaporated. When the temperature in the reaction kettle rises to 100 ℃, keep it for about 10min. When there is no distillate, put the reaction liquid into a cleaning pot filled with water and stirred quickly while it is hot. Add NaOH until it is neutrally dissolved to remove unreacted p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The crystals after centrifugal filtration are washed twice with clear water and then transferred to a decolorization pot. After heating and dissolving with ethanol, activated carbon is added to decolorize. After pressing the filter while hot, the filtrate enters the crystallization tank and is filtered and dried to obtain the product. HOC6H4COOH C2H5OH[H2SO4]→ HOC6H4COOC2H5 p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ethanol, benzene and concentrated sulfuric acid are sequentially added into the esterification kettle (excessive ethanol), stirred and heated for esterification. After the steam is condensed through the condenser, it enters the water separator to remove the water generated by the esterification, and the benzene flows back into the esterification kettle. When the distillate no longer contains water, the residual ethanol and benzene are evaporated. When the temperature in the reaction kettle rises to 100 ℃, keep it for about 10min. When there is no distillate, put the reaction liquid into a cleaning pot filled with water and stirred quickly while it is hot, add NaOH to neutral, dissolve and remove the p-hydroxybenzoic acid as the reaction, wash the crystals after centrifugation and filtration twice with clear water, then transfer them into a decolorizing pot, dissolve them with ethanol and add activated carbon to decolorize; after pressing the filter while hot, the filtrate enters the crystallization tank for crystallization, filter and dry to obtain the product. |
