Common NameSalicylic acid
DescriptionSalicylic acid, also known as 2-carboxyphenol or 2-hydroxybenzoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as salicylic acids. These are ortho-hydroxylated benzoic acids. Salicylic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, salicylic acid is involved in the salicylic acid action pathway. Salicylic acid is a faint, nutty, and phenolic tasting compound. Salicylic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as fennels (Foeniculum vulgare), beer, and peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) and in a lower concentration in nutmegs (Myristica fragrans), ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum), and american cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Salicylic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as butternut squashes (Cucurbita moschata), soy milk, common grapes (Vitis vinifera), almonds (Prunus dulcis), and corianders (Coriandrum sativum). This could make salicylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Salicylic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Salicylic acid.
