A Naturally Occurring Acid with Unique Advantages
Fumaric acid is an organic acid widely found in nature. In humans and other mammals, Fumaric acid is a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle for organic acid biosynthesis (the KREBS cycle). Fumaric acid is also an essential ingredient in plant life.
Fumaric acid is the strongest organic food acid in titratable acidity and in sourness.
Natural and synthetically produced Fumaric Acids have the same molecular structure. Bartek Fumaric Acid is made from N-Butane that is oxidised to Maleic acid that is then isomerized to Fumaric acid.
Benefits Of Fumaric Acid
Lower Ingredient Cost
Ingredient cost is reduced when using Fumaric acid for two reasons. Fumaric acid is stronger than all other organic food acids in terms of sourness, acid equivalent weight and pH values - therefore, less can be used. In addition, Fumaric acid is more economical than other food acids on a cost per unit weight basis.
Lower Packaging Material Cost for Dry Mixes
For dry mixes, packaging material cost is decreased due to reduced moisture barrier requirements and because a smaller package can be used (the unit weight of the dry mix package can be lowered because less acidulant is used).
