Description

Monosodium Fumarate is the monosodium salt of fumaric acid, a key organic acidulant and acidity regulator. This compound is valued for its controlled release of acidity and its role as a flavor enhancer and preservative in various formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries seeking a reliable and effective acidulant.

Application

• Food & Beverage Acidulant: Used in baked goods, gelatin desserts, powdered drinks, and wine for pH control and to impart a tart flavor.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a disintegrant and taste-masking agent in tablet and capsule formulations.
• Animal Feed Additive: Acts as an acidifier in feed to support gut health and improve nutrient absorption in livestock and poultry.
• Chemical Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis for the production of resins, plasticizers, and other fumarate derivatives.
• Personal Care Products: Functions as a pH adjuster and buffering agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
