I-DABA iyi-molecule ephilayo eyingxenye ye-benzoic acid, evame ukusetshenziswa njengezilondolozi zokudla kanye nama-flavoring agents. Nokho, i-DABA inesakhiwo samakhemikhali esihlukile esiyenza ihluke kwamanye ama-benzoic acid. Iqukethe amaqembu amabili e-amino (-NH2) eringini ye-benzene, eyinikeza izici ezihlukile eziyenza ibe wusizo ekusetshenzisweni kwemithi.
Njengoba isidingo semithi esebenzayo nephephile siqhubeka sikhula, i-DABA inesithembiso esikhulu njengengxenye ebalulekile yemboni yezokwelapha. Ngocwaningo oluqhubekayo nokuthuthukiswa, le molekyuli ye-organic ingase ivule indlela yokwelashwa okusha kwezinhlobonhlobo zezimo zezokwelapha.
