Kojic acid is a compound found in various species of fungi and is notable for its ability to chelate metal ions, which has made it a subject of interest in multiple research fields. In the area of biochemistry, kojic acid is studied for its role as an inhibitor of certain enzymes, such as tyrosinase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of melanin. This property forms the basis for research into the mechanisms of pigment formation and pigmentation disorders. In the field of agriculture, kojic acid is examined for its potential as a natural plant growth regulator and as a compound that can influence the pathogenicity of certain plant pests. Additionally, kojic acid is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, where its ability to form stable complexes with transition metals is exploited in the development of new catalytic systems. Research into the antimicrobial properties of kojic acid is also conducted, focusing on its effects against a range of microorganisms and its potential application in food preservation.
