Fumaric acid

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Fumaric acid
✅ FUMARIC ACID (CAS 110-17-8) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Fumaric Acid (CAS 110-17-8) is a dicarboxylic acid and an important intermediate in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) in metabolism. It is widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing. In the food industry, Fumaric Acid is used as an acidulant and preservative in beverages, baked goods, and fruit juices. It imparts a slightly acidic taste to food and helps in maintaining acidity and preserving freshness. In the pharmaceutical industry, Fumaric Acid is used as a sublingual tablet excipient and buffering agent in the formulation of various medicines. It is also used in cosmetics for its anti-aging properties and in chemical manufacturing to create alkyd resins and plastics. This white crystalline powder is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/BP/USP/EP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets, capsules, and other formulations. We supply Fumaric Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, food producers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
