Product name: Fumaric acid
Chemical formula: C4H4O4
CAS: 110-17-8
Product performance:
Fumaric acid and citric acid are the two most commonly used sour agents in the food industry. They have their own advantages in properties and uses. The sourness intensity of fumaric acid is about 1.5 times higher than that of citric acid. Therefore, using fumaric acid in food production can achieve a more obvious sourness effect while reducing the amount of addition and cost. This characteristic makes fumaric acid particularly suitable for foods that require a strong sour taste, such as candies, jams and concentrated fruit juices.
In terms of solubility, citric acid dissolves quickly in both cold and hot water, while fumaric acid has poor solubility in cold water but better solubility in hot water or syrup. Therefore, citric acid is often widely used in beverages, ice cream and dairy products, while fumaric acid is more suitable for products processed at high temperatures, such as baked goods and hot beverages. The solubility properties of both determine their applicability under different process conditions.
From the perspective of stability, the thermal stability of fumaric acid is significantly better than that of citric acid. Fumaric acid retains its chemical properties better under high-temperature processing or long-term storage conditions, while citric acid may decompose or deteriorate at high temperatures. Therefore, fumaric acid is ideal for baked goods and pasteurized beverages, while citric acid is more suitable for temperature-sensitive cold-processed foods.
There is also a significant difference in hygroscopicity between the two. Fumaric acid has very low hygroscopicity and is not easy to absorb moisture even in high-humidity environments, so it is not easy to clump and is easy to store and transport. Citric acid absorbs moisture easily, so special attention needs to be paid to dry conditions during storage. This characteristic makes fumaric acid more advantageous in high humidity areas or long-distance transportation.
In terms of food seasoning, fumaric acid has a refreshing and long-lasting sour taste. It is especially suitable for use in combination with sweeteners and can effectively enhance the flavor level of food. In contrast, citric acid has a milder sourness and balances the overall taste well, so it is widely used in beverages and dairy products to provide a mild sour experience.
The market application scope of fumaric acid and citric acid is also different. Citric acid covers almost all use scenarios of sour agents and is a universal acidity regulator. Fumaric acid, on the other hand, relies on its unique high acidity and low hygroscopicity, and is more widely used in specific foods such as candies, jams, and effervescent tablets, showing higher cost performance in these fields.
From a production perspective, citric acid is mainly produced through fermentation, which is a mature and environmentally friendly process, while fumaric acid can be produced through chemical synthesis and biological fermentation. In recent years, with increased attention to green production technologies, biofermentation production of fumaric acid has gradually become a mainstream trend, showing good potential for sustainable development.
Although both are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food additives, their use must strictly follow the food safety regulations of each country. The amount of fumaric acid and citric acid added to food needs to be scientifically proportioned according to specific product needs and regulatory requirements to ensure the best balance of safety and flavor.
In general, fumaric acid and citric acid have their own characteristics. Which acidifier to choose mainly depends on the processing requirements of the food, taste preferences and cost control. For foods that require strong sour taste and high temperature stability, fumaric acid is a better choice; while citric acid has become the preferred sour agent for most foods due to its wide applicability and mild sour taste.
