By simulating oxalic and citric acid concentrations in forest litter leachates,a series of experiments were conducted to study the effects of oxalic acid and citric acid solutions on chlorophyll contents and photosynthesis of Fraxinus mandshurica seedlings.It resulted that, organic acids of appropriate concentrations increased chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents varied more than carotenoid content, and 1.0mmol/L solution was best. To photosynthesis, the variability treads of net photosynthetic rates with organic acids were probably consistent to those with distilled water, but the values all increased, and 5.0mmol/L solution was best. Effects of different organic acids on chlorophyll contents and photosynthesis followed the series: citric acid >oxalic acid, and it might be relative to chemical structure, dissociation constants and organic ligand-metal stabilities of two kinds of organic acids.

The effects and mechanism of different concentration organic acids and organic salts solution on Al availability of dark brown forest soil were studied. It was resulted that, oxalic acid/oxalate and citric acid/citrate substantially stimulated soil Al release of dark brown forest soil. The effect of organic acids/salts on Al release would be strengthen with increasing of their concentrations.The contents of Al released from A1 horizon was higher than that from B horizon. Organic salt solutions had much higher effects than organic acid the same in concentration, i.e. citrate>citric acid, oxalate>oxalic acid. Therefore, the mechanism of organic acid/salts triggering release of soil Al was assumed to be dominated by complexation reactions of organic anions. Citric acid/ citrate had much higher effect than oxalic acid/ oxalate at same concentration to A1 and B horizons, i.e. citrate> oxalate, citric acid>oxalic acid, which was primarily related with the greater complexing capacities and dissociation constants of citric acid.

“Batuan” fruit (Garcinia binucao [Blco.] Choisy), an indigenous acidulant grown in the Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte was analyzed for its organic acid profile at different stages of maturity for the development of potential food and non-food products. The analysis of organic acid content was done using Reverse Phase-High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Organic acids in the dried, powdered “batuan” fruit samples were extracted with the mobile phase (50mM KH2PO4/ H3PO4, pH2.8). The sample extracts and organic acid standards (oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, and succinic acid) were injected to RP-HPLC under isocratic elution with the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0mL min-1 and using UV-vis detection at 210nm. “Batuan” fruit samples contain oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, and a few unidentified organic acids. Among the organic acids present, citric acid accumulated the highest in the ripe “batuan” fruit; fumaric acid, the least. Results of this study show that “batuan” fruit could be a good natural source of acidulant for food and non-food applications.

In this work, bioleaching of iron from a kaolin sample was carried out using two different strains of Aspergillus niger, and the effects of strain type, pulp density, and addition time of clay on the iron removal were investigated using a full factorial design. It is concluded that strain type has the most significant effect on the iron removal. Also, the highest removal extent was 42.8% that was achieved by using the strain isolated from pistachio shell at the pulp density of 20 g/l, when the clay was added at the beginning of the experiments. The results showed that for the experiments in which the clay was added in the first day of cultivation, the average organic acids concentration (citric acid: 5.6 g/l, and oxalic acid: 4.54 g/l) were higher in comparison to those experiments in which the clay was added in the third day (citric acid: 5.25 g/l, and oxalic acid: 2.87).

We investigated the beneficial role of different concentrations of exogenous oxalic acid (OA) or citric acid (CA) for improving Pb tolerance and mitigating Pb-induced physiological toxicity in Changbai larch (Larix olgensis A. Henry) seedlings in northeast China. The seedlings were exposed to 100 mg·kg−1 Pb in soil alone or in combination with OA or CA irrigation for 10, 20, or 30 days. Pb-induced damage in L. olgensis was evident from elevated lipid peroxidation that significantly inhibited plant growth. Malondialdehyde (MDA) contents also increased in the presence of elevated Pb; however, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities, as well as proline and pigment contents, all decreased. The damage increased in controls over the application periods. Pb contents in fine roots and leaves generally decreased with low-concentration organic acids (<1.0 mmol·L−1), but often increased at 5.0 and 10.0 mmol·L−1. Alternatively, when Pb-stressed plants were exposed to an organic acid (especially 5.0 or 10.0 mmol·L−1 for 10 days), the damage, as indicated by the physiological parameters, was reversed, and plant growth was promoted; CA was more effective in inducing these changes than OA. Therefore, exogenous organic acids have the potential to alleviate Pb-induced oxidative injuries, and can improve the tolerance of L. olgensis seedlings to Pb stress. Under lower OA and CA concentrations, the detoxification mechanism appears to be an external resistance mechanism; however, under higher concentrations (5.0–10.0 mmol·L−1) internal resistance mechanisms appear dominant. It is also possible that the two mechanisms work in tandem.

Abstract A method for isolating organic acids from acidified urine on an equivolume mixture of Porapak Q and Porapak T is described, and results are compared with extraction with ethyl acetate and ion exchange on DEAE-Sephadex. Average recoveries of 14C-labeled oxalic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, alpha-ketoglutaric acid, citric acid, and cinnamic acid were equal to or better than those obtained with the solvent-extraction method. The ion-exchange method gave higher recoveries for oxalic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid. The quantification of separated acids from reconstructed mass spectrometric ion traces is compared with quantification from the simultaneously recorded flame ionization detector response signals. A good correlation was obtained. With the present routine metabolic screening method we have detected several patients with inborn errors of metabolism.

An incubation experiment was conducted on P solubilization from rock phosphate (RP) through different organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, humic acid and sulphur in the laboratory of the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences, KP Agricultural University Peshawar during fall 2011. The experiment was laid in a complete randomize design. There were three replications with six treatments. The organic acids were used at the rate of 2 % for 50 g RP in 250 ml conical flasks. These samples were kept in an incubator at 250c for four months and analysed for Mehlic-3 extractable P and pH values after 20 days interval. Statiscal analyses were made and maximum P concentration of 1.52% was observed in the treatment of oxalic acid mixed with RP followed by the treatments of RP mixed with humic acid with P concentration of 0.368% (Fig. 1). Rapid increases in P solubility from RP by mixing with oxalic acids were noted up to 60thdays of incubation period and then remained stable after this period. Solubilization of P from RP by mixing with other organic acids was inconsistent. The pH in treatment of citric acid mixed with RP was noted as 5.64, followed by the treatments of oxalic acid with pH values of 6.31. A dramatic increase in pH value of 9.33 was observed in the treatment of RP mixed with humic acid. It is because the humic acid contains sodium salt and sodium hummate causes increase in its pH values.

The aim of this work was to determine the sugar, organic acid and mineral compositions of the whole fruit and fractions (skin, pulp and seed) of the Paulista (Plinia cauliflora) and Sabará (Plinia jaboticaba) jabuticaba tree genotypes, as well as the oil compositions of their skin and seeds. High levels of sugar, especially fructose, followed by glucose and sucrose, were encountered in the fruit. In the Paulista genotype, higher levels of total and reducing sugars were found in the pulp and skin, which was not observed when comparing the whole fruit of both genotypes. Five organic acids were found in the whole fruit and in the fractions of the two jabuticaba genotypes in quantitative order: citric acid > succinic acid > malic acid > oxalic acid > acetic acid. Potassium was the most abundant mineral found. This fruit was also shown to be rich in magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and copper. The seed oil had nearly the same constitution as the oil extracted from the skin in both genotypes and the major compounds were an unidentified phytosterol, palmitic, linoleic and oleic acids, and squalene.
