Citric acid and fumaric acid are common organic acids widely used in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Although both have acidity-regulating properties, they differ in chemical structure, flavor, applications, and properties.

Citric acid is one of the most common acids in nature and is widely found in citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. It is a tricarboxylic acid with a strong sour taste and is usually used in foods that require significant acidity adjustment, such as juices, carbonated drinks, candies, etc. Citric acid is very effective in regulating the acidity of food, bringing a fresh, bright sour taste, and has a good antioxidant effect. It can not only increase the flavor, but also extend the shelf life of food. It is often used for food preservation and inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Citric acid's versatility makes it a very popular food additive, especially in liquid beverages and acidic foods.

Unlike citric acid, fumaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid that usually appears as colorless crystals or white crystalline powder and occurs naturally in some plants, especially apples, grapes, and certain mushrooms. Fumaric acid has a milder acidity than citric acid and is often used in products that require a more balanced or lower acidity. It is commonly used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer, particularly in certain beverages, confectionery and dairy products, to add a more complex taste to the product. Fumaric acid is in some cases more heat-resistant than citric acid, making it more stable during high-temperature processing or cooking. Due to its lower acidity, fumaric acid is suitable for some foods that seek a delicate sour taste or a milder taste.

Although citric acid and fumaric acid are used interchangeably in many applications, they differ in their taste properties and chemical stability. In practical applications, citric acid is suitable for occasions that require strong sour taste and rapid dissolution, such as carbonated drinks and sour candies. Fumaric acid is more suitable for products that require a mild sour taste and a longer shelf life, such as juices, dairy products and some candies. Citric acid has strong antioxidant capacity and can effectively extend the shelf life of products, while fumaric acid is often used to add fruity flavor or enhance the overall taste of the product.

Therefore, the choice of citric acid or fumaric acid depends on the needs of the specific product, the target mouthfeel, and the required stability. Both have their own advantages, and in many food formulations, citric acid and fumaric acid are often used together to achieve a more complex and multi-layered sour taste experience.
