Fumaric Acid 99%

Fumaric Acid 99% is a high-purity, white crystalline organic acid belonging to the class of unsaturated dicarboxylic acids. Chemically known as trans-butenedioic acid, it occurs naturally in small amounts in various plants and is also produced synthetically for industrial use. It is odorless with a strong, persistent acidic taste and is only slightly soluble in water but more soluble in alcohol.

Due to its high acidity and excellent stability, fumaric acid is widely used as an acidulant and flavor enhancer in the food industry, particularly in beverages, bakery products, and confectionery. It is also utilized in resin and polymer production, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed. Compared to other organic acids, it provides a long-lasting sourness and has good heat stability, making it suitable for processed foods.

Fumaric acid is chemically stable under normal conditions and exhibits low hygroscopicity, which helps maintain its free-flowing nature during storage. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers to preserve its quality and prevent contamination.
