Antiseptic action against soy sauce was tested with 32 kinds of esters and their monohalogen derivatives of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The results obtained may be summarized as follows.
1) The greatest antiseptic action against soy sauce was shown by hexyl p-hydroxybenzoate.
2) Increase in antiseptic effect by the introduction of one halogen atom in the ortho position to the hydroxyl group in p-hydroxybenzoic esters was found only in lower alkyl esters and the effect was rather found to decrease in higher alkyl esters.
3) Amyl ester of the 3-chloro compound, butyl ester of the 3-bromo compound, and propyl ester of the 3-iodo compound showed the strongest antiseptic action. Maximum effect was found in chloro, bromo, and iodo derivatives with one less methylene group.
