Poly(hydroxybutyrate)
(from Latin formica, ant)
A component of the venom of ants and caterpillars; produced in the body when methanol is consumed
Methanoic acid (Formic acid)
Methanoic acid
(from Latin acetum, vinegar)
Vinegar is a 5% solution of acetic acid dissolved in water, acetic acid is also responsible for the taste of sour wine (from the oxidation of ethanol) and sourdough bread
Ethanoic acid (Acetic acid)
Ethanoic acid (Acetic acid)
Found in Swiss cheese; salts of this acid are used as mold inhibitors
Propanoic acid (Propionic acid)
Propanoic acid (Propionic acid)
Found in citrus fruits (lemons, grapefruit, oranges, etc.); commonly used in buffering solutions with sodium citrate
2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid (Citric acid)
2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid (Citric acid)
Used in sunscreens; absorbs
short-wavelength UV light. It is also required by bacteria for the production of folic acid, needed to maintain the growth of healthy cell walls; sulfa drugs block the uptake of PABA by bacteria, causing them to be unable to
para-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA)
