Benzoic acid is a white solid with the formula C\u2086H\u2085CO\u2082H. It is the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid. The name is derived from gum benzoin, which was for a long time its only source. Benzoic acid occurs naturally in many plants and serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites. Benzoic Acid-Uses: Benzoic acid (BA) is a commonly used antimicrobial preservative in food and beverages, especially in carbonated beverages. As it presents its strongest antibacterial activity at pH 2.5\u20134.0. BA has inhibitory effects on the proliferation of bacteria and yeasts, a major cause of food spoilage. Benzoic acid and salicylic acid topical (for the skin) is a combination medicine used to treat skin irritation and inflammation caused by burn.
