Molecular weight 162 A new molecule!! Covalent bond The chemical bond but. Acid / glycerol is not a ionic bond (ph dependent), but a covalent bond (ph independent) Covalent bond = force of attraction between 2 atoms that share a couple of electrons Characteristics of the chemical bond butyric acid+glycerol: Covalent bond (the attraction force between 2 atoms that share a couple of electrons) Very stable (up-to 23 C) Stability non-ph dependent (practically no problem of dissociated or undissociated form) Odorless Absorbance Absorbance,, % 12 1 8 6 4 2 ph = 4.

Comment to the previous slide: At ph 4, 5 mm butyric acid, correspondending to.4% in water, are sufficient to obtain the MIC on 49 strains of Salmonella Typhymurium At ph 6, 16 mm butyric acid, correspondending to 1.4% in water, are needed to obtain the MIC on 53 strains of Salmonella Typhymurium MONOGLYCERIDES NEW IDEAS TO APPROACH THE PROBLEM?? MONOGLYCERIDES proved to have a significantly stronger microbicidial action than relevant acid In conclusion, at ph 6 an amount of butyric acid 32 times higher than that at ph 4 is necessary 19 & MONOPROPIONIN Istituto Zooprofilattico Lombardia - Emilia Romagna Bruno Ubertini Brescia dr.
