Fumaric acid is a naturally occurring food acidulent found in humans, mammals, and some plant life. In the Food Ingredients industry, Fumaric acid is multifunctional. It can be used as a substitute for tartaric acid or
citric acid.
Fumeric acid can also be used to keep moisture from hardening food powders such as baking powder, cake mixes, etc.
When used in place of citric acid, a much lower amount of fumaric acid can be used because of its high rate of sourness. In fact, fumaric acid is often very cost effective because less of it needs to be used when compared to
citric acid or other similar acidulents.
