Fumaric Acid – The Simplest Unsaturated Dicarboxylic Acid
Fumaric Acid – The Simplest Unsaturated Dicarboxylic Acid
Fumaric Acid, also known as trans-butenedioic acid or allomaleic acid, is an important intermediate metabolite in biological organisms. Fumaric Acid is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid and, as an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, its lively chemical properties bestow it with high value. It serves as a high-performance intermediate in the synthesis of various high-value polymers, extensively used in fields such as coatings, resins, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and can also serve as a food and feed additive.

Benefits

  • Fumaric Acid is used as an acidity regulator and flavoring agent. It is 1.5 times more acidic than citric acid, making it an effective tool for balancing the pH of foods and beverages. It also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. Fumaric Acid is entirely non-hygroscopic, preventing powdered mixtures from clumping and hardening due to moisture.
