Notes:
|
Fumaric acid is a natural acid widely found in plants (genus Fumaria officianalis) and in nature. It can be made by the catalytic oxidation of benzene or by bacterial fermentation on glucose. It produces a white odourless crystalline powder that is the strongest organic food acid in tartness and sourness. It acts as an acidity regulator, anti-oxidant, flavour, and a raising agent in flour based, baked goods. It is very inexpensive and often used as a substitute for other natural acids, as only a small amount of fumaric acid is needed to get the same result as other organic acids. No known side effects. |
