Identification
Common Name2-Biphenylol
ClassSmall Molecule
Description2-Biphenylol is found in lemon. It is an antifungal agent and preservative. 2-Biphenylol is used for post-harvest control of storage disease in apples, citrus fruit, stone fruit, tomatoes, cucumber and peppers through the use of impregnated wrapping materials or by direct application in a wax. 2-Biphenylol is used in food seasonings. Inhibitory to a wider range of moulds than Biphenyl HMJ12-A. The practical way of treatment is to immerse citrus fruit in an alkaline aqueous solution of the parent compound or its Na salt. 2-Biphenylol belongs to the family of Biphenyls and Derivatives. These are organic compounds containing to benzene rings linked together by a C-C bond.
