Product name: Fumaric acid
Chemical formula: C4H4O4
CAS: 110-17-8
Product performance:
Fumaric acid is an unsaturated organic acid. Fumaric acid usually exists in crystalline form and can be obtained by chemical synthesis or microbial fermentation. It exists naturally in some foods, such as mushrooms, grapes and wine. Fumaric acid is mainly used as an acidity regulator in the food industry. It can enhance the sour taste of food and improve the taste, especially in juice, beverages, candy and other products. Fumaric acid has a mild sour taste, so it is suitable for foods that do not want the sour taste to be too sharp. At the same time, it also helps to extend the shelf life in food. Since fumaric acid has a mild acidity regulating effect in food, it is often used in foods that require a slight sour taste, such as beverages and candy.
Lactic acid is a hydrophilic organic acid. Lactic acid is widely present in many fermented foods, such as yogurt, kimchi and some dairy products. Lactic acid is usually produced through a fermentation process, especially the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria. It can not only be used as an acidity regulator, but also improve the taste of food and give it a soft sour taste. Lactic acid has a wide range of applications in the food industry, especially in dairy products, beverages, condiments, candy and sauces. Lactic acid has a milder acidity, but its sourness is more obvious than fumaric acid. In addition to its acidity regulating effect, lactic acid also has a certain preservative effect, which can delay the corruption and deterioration of food.
The main difference between fumaric acid and lactic acid lies in their sourness and application areas. Fumaric acid has a milder sourness and is suitable for foods that require a refreshing sour taste, usually used in juices, beverages, candies, etc. Lactic acid, on the other hand, has a more obvious and mild sourness. It has important applications in dairy products and fermented foods, and is often used as an acidity regulator and preservative in foods.
Overall, both fumaric acid and lactic acid can effectively regulate the acidity of food, but fumaric acid is more suitable for products that require a slight sour taste and a longer shelf life, while lactic acid plays a greater role in dairy products and fermented foods, and helps to enhance the taste of food. The two also have different effects on acidity regulation. Fumaric acid has a milder sourness, while lactic acid provides a softer and more obvious sourness.
