| Definition | Occurs in coffee beans and many other plant sources. Food acidulant with good taste characteristics, use limited by cost Quinic acid is an organic acid which is found in cinchona bark and elsewhere in plants. More specifically, quinic acid is a crystalline acid obtained from cinchona bark, coffee beans, tobacco leaves, carrot leaves, apples, peaches, pears, plums, vegetables etc. Quinic acid and Shikimic acid are key intermediates in the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds in living systems. Quinic acid can also be made synthetically by hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid. Quinic acid is implicated in the perceived acidity of coffee.; Quinic acid, C7H12O6 is a crystalline acid obtained from cinchona bark, coffee beans, and other plant products and made synthetically by hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid. Quinic acid is also implicated in the perceived acidity of coffee.; This acid is a versatile chiral starting material for the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals. A new medicament for the treatment of influenza A and B strains called Tamiflu has been successfully developed and launched into the market recently. |
