Fumaric Acid

Fumaric acid powder is an organic compound widely used in various industries due to its chemical properties and benefits. It is a white, crystalline powder at room temperature, known chemically as trans-butenedioic acid. Fumaric acid is one of the naturally occurring acids in the Krebs cycle, an essential metabolic pathway in living organisms, where it plays a role in cellular respiration and energy production. However, the fumaric acid used in industrial applications is typically synthesized chemically.
