Note
4-aminobenzoate, also known as para-aminobenzoic acid or paba, is a member of the class of compounds known as aminobenzoic acids. Aminobenzoic acids are benzoic acids containing an amine group attached to the benzene moiety. 4-aminobenzoate is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4-aminobenzoate can be found in a number of food items such as babassu palm, nectarine, java plum, and black cabbage, which makes 4-aminobenzoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Aminobenzoic acid (a benzoic acid with an amino group) can refer to: 4-Aminobenzoic acid (p-aminobenzoic acid or para-aminobenzoic acid) 3-Aminobenzoic acid (m-aminobenzoic acid or meta-aminobenzoic acid) 2-aminobenzoic acid (o-aminobenzoic acid or ortho-aminobenzoic acid, Anthranilic acid) .
