CAS No: 110-17-8
Chemical Name: trans-butenedioic acid
Molecular Formula: C4H4O4
Molecular Weight: 116.07
Chemical Structural:
Fumaric acid is one of two
isomeric unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, the other is
maleic acid wherein the carboxylic acid groups are cis-.
The cis- isomer is the less stable than trans- isomer.
Fumaric acid, an organic acid, has bacteriostatic and
antiseptic function. It is used as acidulant, acidity
regulator, acidifier, thermal-oxidative resist auxiliary,
curing accelerant and spice in food and beverage products,
such as in tortillas and breads, fruit juice and nutraceutical
drinks, wine, confectioneries, jellies and jams, desserts.
It is generally used as a substitute for tartaric acid
and occasionally in place of citric acid, at a rate
of 1.36 g of citric acid to every 0.91 grams of fumaric
acid for the same taste.
