Overview | benzoic acid, also known as benzoic acid, has the molecular formula C6H5COOH, the simplest aromatic acid in which the carboxyl group is directly attached to the carbon atom of the benzene ring is a compound in which a hydrogen on the benzene ring is replaced by a carboxyl group (-COOH). It is a colorless, tasteless crystal. The melting point is 122.13 ℃, the boiling point is 249 ℃, and the relative density is 1.2659(15/4 ℃). At 100 deg C when the rapid sublimation, its vapor has a strong irritation, easy to cause Cough after inhalation. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform, benzene, toluene, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride and turpentine and other organic solvents. It widely exists in nature in the form of free acid, ester or derivative thereof, for example, it exists in the form of free acid and benzyl ester in benzoin; in the leaves and bark of some plants in free form; In essential oils in the form of methyl or benzyl esters; In the urine of horses in the form of its derivative hippuric acid. Benzoic acid is a weak acid, stronger than fatty acids. Their chemical properties are similar, can form salts, esters, acid halides, amides, anhydrides, etc., are not easy to be oxidized. The benzene ring of benzoic acid can be electrophilic substitution reaction, mainly to obtain meta substitution. |
discovery process | benzoic acid was discovered in the sixteenth century. In 1556, Nostradamus was the first to describe the retorting effect of benzoin; Later, it was discovered in 1560 and 1596, respectively, by Alexius Pedemontanus and brastoid. In 1875, Salkowski discovered the antifungal potency of benzoic acid, so that benzoic acid was used for long-term preservation of berries. |

Application | benzoic acid is usually used as a drug or preservative, which can inhibit the growth of fungi, bacteria and mold, it is usually applied to the skin for the treatment of dermatophytes. For synthetic fibers, resins, coatings, rubber, tobacco industry. The original benzoic acid is from the dry distillation or alkaline water hydrolysis of benzoic acid, can also be prepared by the hydrolysis of hippuric acid. Industrially, benzoic acid is prepared by oxidizing toluene with air in the presence of cobalt, manganese and other catalysts; Or by hydrolysis and decarboxylation of phthalic anhydride. Benzoic acid and its sodium salt can be used as a bacteriostatic agent for latex, toothpaste, jam or other foods, and can also be used as a mordant for dyeing and printing. |
preparation | Industrial preparation at present, benzoic acid is mainly produced by liquid phase air oxidation of toluene in industry. The process is based on the reaction of cobalt naphthenate as Catalyst, the reaction temperature is 140-160 deg C and operating pressure 0.2-0.3MPa to form benzoic acid. After the reaction, toluene was distilled off, and the product was distilled under reduced pressure and recrystallized. This process utilizes inexpensive raw materials and has a high yield, and thus is a method mainly used in industry. Laboratory preparation method main reaction: 1. Toluene potassium permanganate water-potassium benzoate potassium hydroxide manganese dioxide water (the front water is to provide the reaction environment) 2. Potassium benzoate concentrated hydrochloric acid-benzoic acid drug and dosage: toluene 1.5g(1.7ml,0.016mol), potassium permanganate 5g(0.032mol), ten six alkyl three methyl ammonium bromide 0.1g experimental operation: with ml round bottom flask. Install the reflow device. To the reaction flask were added 5g of potassium permanganate, 0.1g of decahexyltrimethylammonium bromide, 1.7ml of toluene and 50ml of water, respectively, and the mixture was heated to boiling with stirring (vigorous stirring, vigorous boiling) to keep the reactant solution boiling smoothly. When a large amount of brown precipitate was formed, the purple color of potassium permanganate became lighter or disappeared, and the toluene layer disappeared, the reaction was almost finished. The precipitate of manganese dioxide is filtered out, and the filtrate is acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid to precipitate the precipitate of benzoic acid, and the crude product is obtained by Suction filtration. The crude product was recrystallized with water. It was dried in a boiling water bath, weighed and measured for its melting point. |
effect | benzoic acid and its sodium salt sodium benzoate is a very commonly used food preservative. Under acidic conditions, the inhibition of yeast and mold, pH value of 3 when the antibacterial force is strong, and pH 6 on a lot of mold effect is very poor, therefore, the optimum pH value of its bacteriostasis is 2.5-4.0. In the food industry with plastic bottled fruit and vegetable juice concentrate, the maximum use should not exceed 2.0g/kg; In the jam (not including cans), fruit juice (flavor) beverages, soy sauce, the maximum usage amount of vinegar is 1.0g/kg; The maximum usage amount of soft candy, wine and fruit wine is 0.8g/kg; The maximum usage amount of low salt pickles, sauce and preserved fruit is 0.5g/kg; the maximum amount used in carbonated beverages was 0.2g/kg. Because of the solubility of benzoic acid is small, the use of fully stirred, or dissolved in a small amount of hot water or ethanol. When it is used in the concentrated fruit juice used in the cool drink, the sodium salt of benzoic acid is commonly used because it is easy to volatilize with water vapor. Benzoic acid is a common preservative in the food industry, but it is not allowed to be added to dairy products. In general, benzoic acid is considered safe. But for some special populations, including infants and young children, long-term intake of benzoic acid may also cause asthma, urticaria, Metabolic Acidosis and other adverse reactions. Benzoic acid is also used as a flavoring agent for fruit juice beverages. Can be used as a cream fragrance into the fragrance. It can also be used in chocolate, lemon, orange, Berry, nut, preserved fruit and other food flavors. Tobacco flavor is also commonly used. In addition, benzoic acid is also used as raw materials for the production of pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, mordant and plasticizers, modifiers of polyamide resins and alkyd resins, and rust inhibitors for iron and steel equipment. |
Use method of food additive | 1. The antibacterial activity of benzoic acid in molecular state is higher than that in ionic state, so when PH is less than 4, high antibacterial activity, the minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.015%-0.1%. However, its solubility decreases in acidic solution, so it does not rely solely on increasing the acidity of the solution to improve its antibacterial activity. The optimum bacteriostatic PH of benzoic acid was 2.5~4.0. 2, due to the low solubility of benzoic acid to water, so the actual is to add the right amount of sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, with more than 90 degrees Celsius hot water dissolution, it is converted into sodium benzoate and then added to the food. If benzoic acid must be used, it can be dissolved in a suitable amount of ethanol before application. 3, because the solubility of benzoic acid to water is lower than that of sodium benzoate, so when using sodium benzoate in acidic food, attention should be paid to prevent the precipitation caused by the conversion of sodium benzoate into benzoic acid and reduce its use effect. 4, 1g of benzoic acid is equivalent to 1.18g of sodium benzoate; 1g of sodium benzoate is equivalent to 0.847G of benzoic acid 5, benzoic acid in soy sauce, cool drinks can be used together with P-Hydroxybenzoic acid esters and synergistic. Dosage: 1, China's "health standards for the use of food additives" (GB2760-1996): carbonated beverages, the maximum use of 0.2g/kg; Low salt pickles, sauce, preserved fruit, 0.5g/kg; wine, fruit wine, soft candy, 0.8g/kg; Soy sauce, vinegar, Jam (excluding cans), fruit juice (flavor) Beverage type, 1.0g/kg; Food industry plastic bottled concentrated fruit and vegetable juice, 2g/kg; Fruit juice (fruit flavor) ice, 1.0g/kg (mixed or used alone). When benzoic acid and sodium benzoate are used at the same time, the maximum amount of benzoic acid shall not be exceeded. 2, the actual use of reference: benzoic acid and sodium benzoate commonly used in the preservation of highly acidic fruits, berries, fruit juice, jam, beverage syrup and other acidic foods, can be combined with low temperature sterilization, synergistic effect. Different countries to allow the use of this product in food and its use concentration is different |
