Kojic acid

5-((3-Aminopropyl)phosphinooxy)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one

C6H6O4 (142.0266076)


Kojic acid is a synthetic intermediate for production of food additives. It has been found to be a metabolite in Aspergillus (Hugo Vanden Bossche, D.W.R. Mackenzie and G. Cauwenbergh. Aspergillus and Aspergillosis, 1987). Synthetic intermed. for prodn. of food additives Kojic acid is a natural substance produced by Aspergillus oryzae, also used as an anti-oxidant and radio-protective agent[1].
