Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lyase 1 family. Succinic, fumaric, and malic acid are four-carbon diacids that are produced via similar biochemical paths [7].These acids can be used as building blocks for the production of large commodity chemicals, such as 1,4-butanediol, tetra-hydrofuran, hydroxybutyrolacetone [7], or succinates [27,28]. Fumaric acid or trans-butenedioic acid, is a white crystalline chemical compound widely found in nature. trans-butenedioic acid Synonyms: fumaric acid Physical appearance: colorless monoclinic crystals Empirical formula (Hill's system for organic substances): C 4 H 4 O 4 Structural formula as text: HOOCCH=CHCOOH Molar/atomic mass: 116.07 Melting point (°C): 287 Solubility (g/100 g of solvent): acetone: 1.29 (20°C) acetone: 1.72 (29.7°C) It has also been used in film-coated pellet formulations as an acidifying agent and also to increase drug solubility. So today I did the following experiment: I brought 200ml of distilled water to boil and kept adding 1.2g of fumaric acid while keeping the water boiling.

Fumaric acid is a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle for organic acid biosynthesis in humans and other mammals. 8.5.1.1 Succinic, fumaric, and malic acid. Studies were carried out with S. typhimurium strains TA 92, TA94, TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 and TA2637 in … Fumaric acid has been investigated as a lubricant for effervescent tablets, and copolymers of fumaric acid and sebacic acid have been investigated as bioadhesive microspheres. Fumaric acid is widely used in the food industry as an acidulant because it is nontoxic and is the least expensive of the food-grade acids. Solubility (FNP 5) Soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in water and in diethyl ether : pH (FNP 5) 2.0 - 2.5 (1 in 30 solution) 1,2-Dicarboxylic acid: Place 50 mg of the sample in a test tube, add 2 to 3 mg of resorcinol and 1 ml of sulfuric acid, shake, heat at 130° for 5 min and cool. The solubility of fumaric acid in propan-2-ol, ethanol, acetone, and propan-1-ol was measured by a synthetic method at temperatures ranging from (279 to 352) K at atmospheric pressure. Fumaric acid is also an essential ingredient in plant life.

Fumaric acid, organic compound related to maleic acid . Maleic acid and fumaric acid do not spontaneously interconvert because rotation around a carbon carbon double bond is not energetically favourable. Fumaric acid is a functional ingredient that is applicable across food, beverage, animal nutrition, industrial, pharmaceutical, and personal care markets. Both acids are colorless crystals. Again, the large difference in water solubility makes fumaric acid purification easy. Fumaric acid is an organic acid that serves a variety of functional purposes, including enhancing taste, managing pH, reducing hygroscopicity, improving shelf stability, and more.
