Description

Application
Dehydroacetic acid is an organic compound. The compound is classified as a pyrone derivative and is used mostly as a fungicide and bactericide. The sodium salt sodium dehydroacetate is often used in place of dehydroacetic acid because of its greater solubility in water. It is prepared by the base-catalysed dimerization of diketene.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Dehydroacetic acid is one of the food additives found in red wine and was determined by ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UFLC-MSMS)
