What is aconitic acid?

healthy PIG Nov 02, 2023

Aconitic acid (propylene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid) is the most common six-carbon organic acid found in sugar cane and sweet sorghum. As a high-value-added chemical, aconitic acid can be used as a chemical precursor or intermediate for high-value downstream industrial and biological applications. These downstream applications include use as bio-based plasticizers, cross-linkers, and the formation of valuable multifunctional polyesters also used in tissue engineering. Aconitic acid also plays a variety of biological roles within cells, serving as an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), and as an antifeedant, antifungal agent, and means of storing fixed carbon pools, giving certain plants a unique survival advantage. . Aconitic acid has also been reported to act as a fermentation inhibitor, anti-inflammatory agent, and potential nematicide.
