Common Name

m-Aminobenzoic acid

Definition

m-Aminobenzoic acid (also known as 3-aminobenzoic acid or MABA) is an organic compound with the molecular formula H2NC6H4CO2H. MABA is a white solid, although commercial samples are often colored. It is only slightly soluble in water. It is soluble in acetone, boiling water, hot alcohol, hot chloroform and ether. It consists of a benzene ring substituted with an amino group and a carboxylic acid. m-Aminobenzoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aminobenzoic acids. These are benzoic acids containing an amine group attached to the benzene moiety. Outside of the human body, m-Aminobenzoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in cow milk. This could make m-aminobenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
