Mouse Anti-Benzoic Acid (BZA) Monoclonal Antibody

Benzoic acid is a weak organic acid that targets microbial metabolic pathways. It disrupts the proton motive force in bacterial and fungal cells, inhibiting the function of ATP synthase and other proton-driven transporters. This leads to impaired energy production and cellular function, ultimately causing microbial death. Benzoic acid is commonly used as a preservative in food and pharmaceuticals due to its antimicrobial properties. Its specific interaction with microbial metabolism makes it a valuable target for antibody development to enhance detection and monitoring in food safety and industrial settings. Antibodies against benzoic acid can facilitate accurate measurement and assessment of its levels in various samples, supporting regulatory compliance and quality control.
