3-Hydroxybenzoic acid is a component of castoreum, the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European beaver (Castor fiber), used in perfumery. It can also be formed by a Pseudomonas species from 3-Chlorobenzoic acid. [2] 3-Hydroxybenzoic Acid can be found in the pineapple fruit as well.
2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a natural phenol found in Phyllanthus acidus [2] and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. [3] It is also abundant in the fruits of Flacourtia inermis. It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a type of organic compound. The colorless solid occurs naturally, being formed via the shikimate pathway.
Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives, represented by the E numbers E210, E211, E212, and E213. Benzoic acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast [23] and some bacteria. It is either added directly or created from reactions with its sodium, potassium, or calcium salt. The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid ...
Included in that class are substances containing a phenolic ring and an organic carboxylic acid function (C6-C1 skeleton). Two important naturally occurring types of phenolic acids are hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids, which are derived from non-phenolic molecules of benzoic and cinnamic acid, respectively.

Hydroxybenzoic acid may refer to several related chemical compounds: 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid) 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m ...
Dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBA) are a type of phenolic acids. There are six main compounds, having all the same molecular formula C 7 H 6 O 4. Those are: 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (2-Pyrocatechuic acid or hypogallic acid) 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (β-Resorcylic acid) 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid) 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (γ ...
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxybenzoate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase, m-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase, and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid-6-hydroxylase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation. It employs one cofactor, FAD.
Monohydroxybenzoic acid may refer to any of three isomeric phenolic acids: Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid) 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m-hydroxybenzoic acid) 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid) Monohydroxybenzoic acids can be degraded by microbes. [1]
