Isobutyric Acid Analysis Service

Isobutyric acid, also known as 2-methylpropionic acid, is a short-chain fatty acid.

In the intestine, SCFAs are very beneficial to human intestinal health, which can improve body composition, glucose homeostasis, blood lipid profile, reduce weight and the risk of colon cancer. As the main energy substrate, SCFAs can also have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Intestinal bacteria ferment valine to produce isobutyric acid. We provide short-chain fatty acid analysis, including isobutyric acid analysis services, to promote the study of intestinal flora-host interaction and the mechanism of related diseases.

Isobutyric acid can be used as a edible spice and also used in pharmacy. In industry, isobutyric acid is mainly used to synthesize isobutyrate products, such as methyl isobutyrate, propyl ester, isoamyl ester, benzyl ester, etc. We can provide isobutyric acid content testing services to help you detect the level of isobutyric acid in your products.

According to different analysis needs, Creative Proteomics provides customize exclusive isobutyric acid analysis services solutions for you according to your samples.
