2-Oxobutyric acid Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesCOLOURLESS TO ALMOST COLOURLESS CRYSTALS
Chemical Properties2-Oxobutyric acid has a sweet, brown, caramel, creamy odor.
OccurrenceReported found in beer and black tea.
UsesA substrate for the determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.This compound is suitable for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) related research.
Uses2-Oxobutyric acid (α-ketobutyric acid) may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in K562 cells by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and in drinking water at low microgram per liter concentrations by ion chromatography technique.
DefinitionChEBI: A 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is the 2-oxo derivative of butanoic acid.
Taste threshold valuesTaste characteristics at 25 ppm: sweet, brown, creamy, caramellic with a fatty nuance.
General Description2-Oxobutyric acid is mainly found in the hydrolysates of proteins, reportedly being formed by the degradation of threonine.
