- Aconitic acid is an organic acid,
The conjugate base of aconitic acid, aconitate is a substrate of the
citric acid cycle.
- It is acted upon by aconitase,
Aconitic acid can be synthesized by dehydration of citric acid using
sulfuric acid
-
Aconitic acid is a
product having the formula HOOC.CH2.C (COOH) = CH. COOH, derivable from
citric by a dehydrating reaction at the position of the double bond.
-
Trans aconitic acid (TAA)
is the predominant organic acid in cane leaf matter (CLM) juice.
-
TAA is a white to
yellowish crystalline solid, with melting point 195 °C. It is soluble in
water and alcohol.
-
It is an intermediate
in the tri carboxylic acid cycle produced by the dehydration of citric
acid.
-
In general, the
production of aconitic acid is effected by reacting the alkaline earth
aconitate in the presence of water with a mineral acid of such nature
that the alkaline earth metal forms a non-soluble salt with the reactant
while the aconitic.
-
Acid re amins in
solution, whereby the alkaline earth metallic salt may be filtered out,
leaving a solution containing the aconitic acid.
-
Aconitic acid has been
prepared from citric acid by the action of sulfuric acid or hydrogen
chloride, or by heating.
-
It has been prepared
also from methyl acetylcitrate and from acetylcitric any hdride.
-
Liquid-liquid
extraction (LLE), solid-liquid extraction and ion exchange were
evaluated for the recovery of Trans aconitic acid from cane leaf matter
still age.
-
Aconitic acid is a
tri carboxylic unsaturated acid and is of special interest in the
production of resins, plastics, plasticizers, flavors, etc.
