Application

DL-3-Hydroxybutyric Acid, which appears as a clear, colorless to light yellow viscous liquid, serves multiple industrial purposes. Primarily, it is utilized in the production of biodegradable plastics. Additionally, it functions as a solvent in various applications such as organoleptics and cosmetics. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the enantioselective synthesis of D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid using Escherichia coli. As a straight-chain 3-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, it consists of a butyric acid core with a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position. In humans, its levels increase during ketosis, providing an alternative energy source for the brain during fasting. The compound is a human metabolite and has significance as a ketone body related to butyric acid, functioning as a conjugate acid of 3-hydroxybutyrate.
