CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW VISCOUS LIQUID | [Uses]
Industrially, 3-hydroxybutanoic acid is used for the manufacture of biodegradable plastics. It is also acts as a solvent in organoleptics, cosmetics. It is also used in enantioselective synthesis of D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid by Escherichia coli. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A straight-chain 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid comprising a butyric acid core with a single hydroxy substituent in the 3- position; a ketone body whose levels are raised during ketosis, used as an energy source by the brain during fasting in humans. Also u
ed to synthesise biodegradable plastics. | [storage]
Store at 4°C, away from moisture |
