Fumaric Acid
HWS & CWS
Fumaric acid provides more sourness per unit weight than most other acidulants. it is a white crystalline powder or granuleswith a fruit-like taste. Fumaric acid has an eficient antimicrobial effect. it is nearly non-hygroscopic, which prevents powderedmixes from caking and hardening due to moisture. As a result, fumaric acid can replace the most commonly used acidulantssuch as malic acid, citric acid and lactic acid in food, beverage, animal nutrition,industrial, pharmaceutica, and personal caremarkets.
Fumaric Acid Product Series
| Fumaric Acid HWS | 99.5-100.5% |
| Fumaric Acid CWS | 99.5-100.2% |
Fumaric Acid HWS
HWS fumaric acid has gradual dissolution, making it suitable for applications where slower acid release is desired. It is commonly used in jams, dough conditioners, soft drinks, and preserves to regulate pH, improve texture, and extend shelf life.
Fumaric Acid CWS
This version dissolves quickly even in cold water. It is a white crystalline powder with a strong acidic taste and low moisture absorption. CWS fumaric acid is valued for its fast dissolution and fine particle size, which is beneficial in cold food and beverage systems.
Unique Advantages of Fumaric Acid
Nearly zero hygroscopicity
Fumaric acid does not absorbatmospheric moisture during storage. Dry mix productsdo not cake or harden during storage when fumaric acidis used as the acidulant.lt's hydrophobic nature alsoprovides improved lubrication during the manufacture ofcompressed tablets. This results in higher process yields,less tablet breakage, and a smoother tablet surfacecompared to the use of other acidulants.
More efficient acidifier
Provides more sourness per unit weight than most other acidulants.For instance, acidity level of fumaric acid is 1.5-2 times that of citric acid.
Efficient antimicrobial effect
Fumaric acid has been shownto be more effective than most other organic acidulants asan anti-microbial agent against food pathogens such asE. Coli 0157:H7
Wide Range of Applications of Fumaric Acid
Fumaric acid provides more sourness per unit weight than most other acidulants in beverages. It is commonly used with other acidulants or replace other acidulants.
Fumaric acid is the ideal acidulant for tortillas and baked goods. lt extends shelf life, improvesdough machinability,increases the flavor of savory baked goods.
Fumaric acid is preferred in dry mixes, because it prevents caking and hardening even in high humidity storage conditions.
Fumaric acid provides more sourness per unit weight than most other acidulants in confectioneryIt does not absorb moisture during storage and distribution, thus extending the shelf life of sweets.
Fumaric acid provides better texture and gelling properties, while increasing flavor stability and lengthening shelf life.
Fumaric acid reduces the pH of animal gastrointestinal tract, maintaining internal environment stability and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. lt enhances the stress resistance of animals. Additionally, fumaric acid can be used directly as an energy source, as it is directly involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle of animals.
Fumaric acid is used in a variety of industrial applications. For instance, it is used in unsaturated polyester resins, insulating resin, plasticizers, surfactants, etc.
Fumaric acid is a desired ingredient in many cleaning agents and bath products because it effectively promotes the generation of carbon dioxide.
In pharmaceutical products, fumaric acid mainly serves as a pharmaceutical intermediate, acidulant, effervescent tablet disintegrant, and excipient, playing roles in regulating drug stability, improving formulation performance, and providing auxiliary therapeutic effects.
