Product Description

Trans-Butenedioic Acid

(Fumaric Acid)

Specification: trans-butenedioic acid has bacteriostatic and antiseptic function. It can be used as acidulant, acidity regulator, acidifier.

Properties:White odorless powder or, with speical sourness that is as strong as 1.5 times of citric acid. It is soluble in ethanol (5.76g/100g,30°c), slightly soluble in water (0.63g/100ml,25°c) and in ether, and very slightly soluble in chloroform. It has no hygroscopicity, and will sublime at 200°c. Boiling point: 290°c (decompose). It will turn to maleic anhydride at 230°c, and will generate DL-malic acid if boiled with water.
