  • A convenient synthesis of bifunctional sulfonamide-amide derivatives was reported. Amide coupling of 4-methyl benzoic acid 1 followed by reaction with chlorosulfonic acid produce ethyl-4-(3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-methylbenzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate 4. The resulted compound on further treatment with various anilines produces the title sulfonamide-amide derivatives 5a-n. The configurations of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, IR, $^1H$ NMR, mass spectra, and by their preparation from the corresponding 4-methyl benzoic acid 1 and chlorosulfonic acid. All these new compounds demonstrate significant in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against all bacterial and fungal strains.

  • This study was performed to determine the contents of propionic, benzoic, and sorbic acids in dried seasoned seafood products (n=27) sold in Korea. Propionic acid was determined using a gas chromatogramphy-flame ionization detector. Benzoic and sorbic acid were analyzed by using a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector. Benzoic acid was not detected in the dried seasoned seafood products; however, propionic and sorbic acid were detected in some samples. The concentrations of propionic acid and sorbic acid were up to 125.10 mg/kg and 658.18 mg/kg in dried seasoned seafood products, respectively. Of eight samples labeled with potassium sorbate, sorbic acid was detected in seven of them. The detected sorbic acid levels in these samples met the regulations for sorbic acid usage in Korea. The propionic, benzoic, and sorbic acid contents of dried seasoned seafood products determined in this study can provide basic data for safety management of dried seasoned seafood products in future.

  • In a $2{\times}2$ factorial experiment the hypotheses tested were that the metabolic acid load caused by benzoic acid (BA) added to the feed affects bone mineralization of weanling pigs, and that a wide dietary calcium (Ca) to phosphorus (P) ratio in phytase-supplemented feeds with a marginal P concentration has a positive effect on bone mineralization. The four experimental diets, which contained 0.4% P and were supplemented with 1,000 FTU phytase/kg, contained either 5 g BA/kg or no BA and either 0.77% Ca or 0.57% Ca. The 68 four-week-old Large White pigs were fed the experimental diets ad libitum for six weeks and were then slaughtered. Benzoic acid increased feed intake (p = 0.009) and growth rate (p = 0.051), but did not influence the feed conversion ratio (p>0.10). Benzoic acid decreased the pH of the urine (p = 0.031), but did not affect breaking strength and mineralization of the tibia (p>0.10). The wide Ca:P ratio decreased feed intake (p = 0.034) and growth rate (p = 0.007) and impaired feed the conversion ratio (p = 0.027), but increased the mineral concentration in the fat-free DM of the tibia (p = 0.013) without influencing its breaking strength (p>0.10). The observed positive effect of the wide Ca:P ratio on bone mineralization may be attributed, at least in part, to the impaired feed conversion ratio, i.e. to the higher feed intake and consequently to the higher mineral intake per kg BW gain. The negative impact on animal performance of the wide dietary Ca:P ratio outweighs its potentially positive effect on bone mineralization, precluding its implementation under practical feeding conditions.

  • To enhance the utilization of chestnut husk discarded in the processing company antioxidative activities and compounds were investigated. Antioxidative activities of solvent fractions from chestnut husk were examined by benzoic acid hydroxylation method ferric thiocyanate method and DPPH test. Ethyl acetate fraction showed strong antioxidative activities comparable to BHA. Active compounds were isolated and purified from ethyl acetate fraction by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative HPLC. A major active compound gallic acid was identified by $^{1}$H and $^{13}$ C-NMR. The phenolic acid contents was analyzed by GC and ellagic acid (172.22 mg%) and gallic acid (107.39 mg%) were major phenolic acid of chestnut husk.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare permeation characteristics in three skin types using oil-soluble benzoic acid and water-soluble caffeine after method condition optimization based on OECD guideline 428. Methods: A Franz diffusion cell, a reliable alternative method for skin permeation, was used. One-milliliter samples were taken and immediately replaced with fresh solution in the receptor chamber at regular time intervals (1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and 24 hr). The amount of test substances was measured by LC-MS/MS. Results: The permeation rate increased dose-dependently, and the permeation orders were $KeraSkin^{TM}$ > hairless mouse full skin > human cadaver epidermis for skin types, and benzoic acid solution > caffeine solution > benzoic acid cream > caffeine cream for type of test materials. Conclusion: According to the definitions of Marzulli, benzoic acid and caffeine would be classified as 'fast' and 'moderate' compared with the permeation of other chemical species. The setting conditions and permeation characteristics performed in this study are expected to contribute to future permeation studies.

  • A survey for BHA (butyl hydroxy anisol), BHT(dibutyl hydroxy toluene), DHA (dehydroxy acetic acid), BA (benzoic acid), Sor. A. (Sorbic acid), POBA-Esters (P-hydroxy benzoic acid esters of ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl and isobutyl), propionic acid, nitrite (as $N0_2$) and sulfites (as $S0_2$) of food additives which have much interesting to food consumers was carried out to assess the intake amount by Korean through the years of 1985-1987. Additive intakes were estimated by applying the determined a.dditive contents in the specific food to the specific daily food-intake amount obtained from the report of Korean national nutrition survey, and the level in cities were compared higher in general to that in rural communities, and the average level of the nation showed as follows; the estimated value of butyl hydroxy anisol and dibutyl hydroxy toluene in total was 0.017 mg, and 0.030 mg for dehydroxy acetic acid 0.064 mg for benzoic acid, 6.011 mg for sorbic acid, 0.247 mg for p-hydroxy benzoic acid eaters in total, 0.1438 mg for propionic acid 0.016 mg for nitrite ($N0_2$) and 0.022 mg for sulfite ($S0_2$) respectively, and those values were far below to that of FAO/WHO's ADls.

  • The interaction of para-halogenated benzoic acid isomers with the micellar system of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of benzoic acid isomers into the micellar system of TTAB and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of TTAB have been measured with the change of temperature. Various thermodynamic parameters have been calculated and analyzed from those measurement. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}{_s}$ for the solubilization of all isomers are negative and the values of ${\Delta}H^{\circ}{_s}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}{_s}$ are all positive within the measured temperature range. The effects of additives (n-butanol and NaCl) on the solubilization of benzoic acid isomers have been also measured. There was a great decrease on the values of $K_s$ and CMC simultaneously with these additives. From these changes we can postulate that the solubilization sites of each isomers in the TTAB micellar system are the surface or the palisade region of the micelle.
