High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis.

Overview

Benzoic acid is a colorless crystalline solid and a simple aromatic carboxylic acid. It is a key precursor for the synthesis of many other organic substances and is widely used in the chemical industry.

It is naturally found in many plants and serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites. Its salts are used as food preservatives.

Uses

Benzoic acid is primarily used in the preservation of food and beverages. It is also used in the manufacture of various cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products.

In the laboratory, it is used as a standard for calibrating instruments and validating methods in residue analysis.

Regulatory

Benzoic acid and its derivatives are regulated under various international standards to ensure safety and efficacy. It is approved by bodies such as the FDA and EFSA for use in food preservation within specified limits.

Compliance with these regulations is essential for manufacturers and laboratories involved in food and environmental analysis.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of benzoic acid levels in food and environmental samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Analytical methods such as HPLC and GC are commonly used for this purpose.

Our high-purity reference materials for benzoic acid support accurate and reliable monitoring processes.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Benzoic acid is generally recognized as safe when used within prescribed limits. However, excessive exposure can lead to adverse health effects such as skin irritation, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Benzoic acid can have harmful effects on aquatic life if released into water bodies in large quantities. It is important to manage its use and disposal to minimize environmental impact.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of benzoic acid are essential to ensure safety. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safety guidelines to prevent exposure.

Regulation

Benzoic acid is subject to regulatory controls to ensure its safe use in various applications. Adherence to these regulations is mandatory for manufacturers and laboratories.

Analytical Standards

Our high-purity reference materials for benzoic acid are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards. They are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
