| | Benzoic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Definition | ChEBI: Benzoic acid is a compound comprising a benzene ring core carrying a carboxylic acid substituent. It has a role as an antimicrobial food preservative, an EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor, an EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor, a plant metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite, an algal metabolite and a drug allergen. It is a conjugate acid of a benzoate. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion,subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. A severe eyeirritant. A human skin and severe eye irritant.
