Fumaric acid solubility and solvent options
Solubility in cold water and hot water
NORBIDAR sells very pure fumaric acid. Many industries use it. It is used in food and animal feed. It is also used in factories. How well fumaric acid dissolves depends on the liquid and temperature. In cold water, it dissolves slowly. Only a little bit mixes in at room temperature. Hot water helps it dissolve more. Molecules move faster in warm water. This makes it dissolve quicker.
The table below shows how much fumaric acid dissolves in different liquids at 25 °C:
| Solvent | Solubility (g/100 ml) at 25 °C |
|---|---|
| Water | 0.70 |
| Acetone | 1.72 |
| Benzene | 0.003 |
| Carbon Tetrachloride | 0.027 |
| Chloroform | 0.02 |
| Diethyl Ether | 1.01 |
Using hydro-alcoholic solutions for better results
Hydro-alcoholic solutions help fumaric acid dissolve better. Mixing fumaric acid with water and alcohol increases how much dissolves. For example:
- In a 12% hydro-alcoholic solution, fumaric acid reaches 6.4 g/L.
- In a 16% hydro-alcoholic solution, fumaric acid reaches 7.1 g/L.
- In pure water, fumaric acid reaches 5.3 g/L.
Hydro-alcoholic solutions let more fumaric acid mix in. This is good for food and drinks.
Role of surfactants and additives
Surfactants and additives help fumaric acid dissolve faster. Some surfactants lower the melting point. Some help more fumaric acid mix in. The table below shows how surfactants change fumaric acid:
| Surfactant/Lipid Carrier | Effect on Melting Point | Statistical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| PGM | Decreases | p < 0.05 |
| GML | Complex behavior | Varies |
| HPO | Higher solubility | p < 0.05 |
| HRO | Higher solubility | p < 0.05 |
| COM | Not significant | p ≥ 0.05 |
NORBIDAR’s fumaric acid works well with surfactants and additives. This helps companies make better food, feed, and industrial products.
Key factors for dissolving fumaric acid efficiently
Temperature and agitation effects
Temperature is important for dissolving fumaric acid. Warm water makes molecules move faster. This helps the solid break apart and mix in. Stirring or shaking also helps a lot. Moving the mixture spreads out the particles. More water can touch the fumaric acid this way. Both heat and movement make it dissolve quicker.
The table below lists some things that affect how fumaric acid dissolves:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| High thermal and photostability | Fumaric acid stays stable when heated or in light. This keeps the dissolving rate steady. |
| Low hygroscopicity | Fumaric acid does not take in much water from the air. This helps it keep its quality and dissolve well. |
| Strong hydrogen bonding | The solid is stable, so it takes more energy to dissolve. This also keeps the product pure. |
| pH-modulating effects | Fumaric acid helps keep the pH right. This can stop it from breaking down when mixing. |
Particle size and mixing techniques
The size of fumaric acid pieces matters. Smaller pieces have more surface area. This means more of the solid touches the water. When the surface is bigger, it dissolves faster. The Noyes-Whitney equation explains this. If the pieces are too small, they might stick together. This can slow down dissolving. Good mixing breaks up clumps. This helps all the powder meet the liquid.
Solvent volume and concentration
The amount of water or other liquid is important. Using more liquid can help dissolve more fumaric acid. The right balance gives the best results. For example, if you put 5 mg of fumaric acid in 1 mL of water, you get a 5 mg/mL solution. Studies show that 5 g/L (0.044 M) is a good starting point for many uses.
Tip: Always measure both the fumaric acid and the liquid. This helps you get the right concentration. It also helps control how well it dissolves and makes sure the solution works for what you need.

Tips for cold water soluble fumaric acid
Slow addition and constant stirring
Many people use cold water soluble fumaric acid in food and drinks. It does not dissolve fast in cold water. Adding it slowly stops clumps from forming. When you add the powder a little at a time, it spreads out better. Stirring all the time helps break up the powder. This makes it mix with water more easily. You can use a spoon or whisk to stir. If you pour in all the powder at once, it might stick together. The powder can sink to the bottom. Stir for at least 30 seconds for the best results. Shaker bottles can also help mix it quickly.
Tip: Always add fumaric acid slowly to cold water and keep stirring. This way, you get a clear solution.
Enhancing solubility with surfactants
Surfactants help cold water soluble fumaric acid mix into water. They help the powder break up and spread in the liquid. Some surfactants make fumaric acid melt at a lower temperature. This makes it easier to dissolve. Food makers use surfactants to get smooth drinks and snacks. Sodium fumarate is a surfactant that helps it dissolve faster. Other acids like malic acid help too. You can add a small amount of surfactant to make it work better.
Avoiding common mistakes
Some mistakes make it harder to dissolve cold water soluble fumaric acid. Adding all the powder at once causes clumps. Not stirring lets the powder sink to the bottom. Dirty tools can change the taste or make it unsafe. Measuring both the powder and water helps you get the right amount. Do not use very cold water. Fumaric acid dissolves better in warmer water. This helps it mix well and gives a clear solution.
Note: Clean tools and careful measuring keep cold water soluble fumaric acid pure and safe.
