Application / Intended Use
Fumaric acid is the acidulant of choice where low hygroscopicity matters: dry beverage mixes, tortillas and bakery fillings. It gives the strongest sourness per unit weight of the common food acids, so formulators use less of it, and it does not cake in dry blends the way citric acid can. It is also a curing agent in unsaturated polyester resins.
