Carboxylic acid, an essential component in the field of organic chemistry, is a type of organic compound characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group (COOH). The general molecular formula for carboxylic acids is R-COOH, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group. Carboxylic acids play a crucial role in various biological processes and industrial applications, and it is derived from a variety of sources, such as alcohols and aldehydes. The demand for animal feed has led to a surge in the need for carboxylic acids as essential ingredients in feed formulations. Moreover, there has been a notable rise in the utilization of carboxylic acid in the food & beverage sector, owing to its properties as a food preservative, flavoring agent, and pH regulator. Additionally, the continuous expansion of the pharmaceutical sector worldwide offers promising prospects for applying carboxylic acids in drug synthesis and formulation. Fluctuating costs and raw materials used in carboxylic acid production impact its affordability and availability in various industries. The storage and transportation of carboxylic acids represent significant challenges due to their corrosive nature and sensitivity to environmental conditions. However, the development of renewable fermentation of carboxylic acid from biomass sources, which can lead to sustainable and cost-effective production methods and utilizing CO2 for synthesizing carboxylic acids, presents an innovative approach that could contribute to reducing carbon emissions while generating valuable chemical compounds.
