Benzoic acid in the free state, or in the form of simple derivatives such as salts, esters, and amides, is widely distributed in nature. Gum benzoin (from styrax ben in) may contain as much as 20% benzoic acid in the free state or in combinations easily broken up by heating. Acaroid resin (from anthorrhoca haslilis) contains from 4.5 to 7%. Smaller amounts of the free acid are found in natural products including the scent glands of the beaver, the bark of the black cherry tree, cranberries, pmnes, ripe cloves, and oil of anise seed. Pern and Tolu balsams contain benzyl benzoate the latter contains free benzoic acid as well. The urine of herbivorous animals contains a small proportion of the glycine derivative of benzoic acid, hippuric acid [495-69-2] (CgH CONHCH2COOH). So-called natural benzoic acid is not known to be available as an item of commerce. 

Anjou and von Sydow (1967) reported that 0.2% of the essential oil of the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, consisted of isophorone they did not report the percentage of isophorone or the percentage of essential oil in whole cranberries. Without this information it is not possible to estimate the concentration of isophorone in whole cranberries and compare the concentration to other sources. However, frequent consumption of cranberry containing products is unlikely to represent significant intake of isophorone. Ingestion of isophorone from consumption of fish and shellfish cannot validly be estimated from the available data (see Table 5-2).
