WHAT DOES ITACONIC ACID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Itaconic acid

Itaconic acid, or methylenesuccinic acid, is an organic compound. Itaconic acid is a white crystalline powder. Itaconic acid is a naturally occurring compound, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable. The name itaconic was devised as an anagram of aconitic. Historically, itaconic acid was obtained by the distillation of citric acid. Since the 1960s, it is produced industrially by the fermentation of carbohydrates such as glucose using Aspergillus terreus. As such, it is a fully sustainable industrial building block. It is primarily used as a co-monomer in the production of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and acrylate latexes with applications in the paper and architectural coating industry. Since Cargill, the last of the U.S. companies to manufacture itaconic acid, exited the business, itaconic acid has mainly been procured by importing the product directly from China and England, where it is still made by several different companies. In the spring of 2013 itaconic acid was demonstrated to have antimicrobial activity in a paper that also showed the compound was produced by the product of the mammalian gene Immune-Responsive Gene 1.

Definition of itaconic acid in the English dictionary

The definition of itaconic acid in the dictionary is a white colourless crystalline carboxylic acid obtained by the fermentation of carbohydrates and used in the manufacture of synthetic resins. Formula: CH2:CCH2COOH.
