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.
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.
UsesA substrate for the determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.This compound is suitable for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) related research.
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.
