Product Overview:

Fumaric Acid is a widely used organic acid. In the food industry, it mainly functions as an acidulant, pH regulator and processing aid. It helps provide stable acidity, improve flavor balance and support consistent processing performance.

One important characteristic of Fumaric Acid is its solubility behavior. Conventional Fumaric Acid generally dissolves more easily under hot water conditions, while cold water soluble grades are developed to achieve better solubility and dispersion in cold water systems.
