Thermo Scientific™ Propionic Acid is a high-purity, research-grade chemical supplied at ≥98.5% assay (GC), conforming to both U.S. and non-U.S. analytical specifications. It is a colorless, corrosive liquid with a sharp, pungent odor, used widely in biochemical, synthetic, and industrial applications.
Propionic acid (also known as propanoic acid) is naturally occurring and commonly used as a preservative, chemical intermediate, and building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. It is miscible with most polar organic solvents, including water, alcohols, ethers, and chloroform.
Applications
- Food & Feed Preservative: Inhibits mold and bacterial growth in silage, baked goods, and processed foods.
- Intermediate in Organic Synthesis: For the production of cellulose-acetate-propionate polymers, agrochemicals, bleaching agents, artificial flavorings, and fragrance ingredients.
- Biochemical Research: Used in microbial fermentation studies and metabolic profiling of volatile fatty acids.
- Pharmaceuticals: Precursor in the synthesis of morphinan derivatives and other bioactive compounds.
