Syringic Acid UV Visible Spectrum
Syringic acid is a naturally occurring Phenols, phenolic compound and dimethoxybenzene that is commonly found as a plant metabolite. Natural occurrence Syringic acid can be found in several plants including ''Ardisia elliptica'' and ''Schumannianthus dichotomus''. It is biosynthesized by the shikimic acid pathway in plants. Synthesis Syringic acid can be prepared by selectively hydrolysis, hydrolyzing (demethylation, demethylating) eudesmic acid with 20% sulfuric acid. Presence in food Syringic acid can be found in several fruits including olives, dates, spices, pumpkin, grapes, acai palm, honey, red wine, among others. Its presence in the ancient Egyptian drink shedeh could confirm it was made out of grape, as syringic acid is released by the breakdown of the compound malvidin, also found in red wine. It is also found in vinegar. Applications Various studies have found syringic acid to have potentially useful properties such as Antioxidant, anti-oxidant, Antimicrobial, ...
