There are many foods with fumaric acid in, some which you might not expect! There is a list below.
It is also known as E297, and acts as a buffering agent to stop foods spoiling, so its also sort of a preservative.
Fumaric acid is non-hygroscopic, which means that it won't dry out the product.
It can be used in bread if the dough is being machine kneaded.
And its also REALLY sour (so only a little will go in)!
A selection of foods you can find fumaric acid in:
* Sourdough bread * English muffins * Chewing Gum * Sour sugar candy * Tortillas * Fruit juices * Powdered beverage mixes

What happens if fumaric acid is mixed with ammonia?
just tried it. a dash of reagent grade fumaric acid was covered in janator strength non detergent ammonia. no observable reaction....
Why is fumaric acid dried in the oven?
Fumaric acid is dried in an oven at a relatively low heat - below 130 degrees centigrade - to evaporate any water that might be left over from formation. If it is heated above 130 degrees, the fumaric acid starts to decompose and form maleic acid, maleic anhydride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The acid may be dried for a number of reasons. Commercially because water has weight but no value, it is cheaper to transport completely dry fumaric acid. Water may also cause unwanted reactions with other chemicals which the fumaric acid is eventually added to. Removing the water then removes the reactions.
What is the chemical formula for trans-butenedioic acid?
trans-butenedioic acid,C4H4O4 also called fumaric acid
Is fumaric acid polar or non-polar?
Flurosulfonic acid is polar because of the differences between the electronegativities of its atoms and its geometry.
Fumaric acid with 13- cyclopentadiene gives only one product?
Yes...5-norbornene-2-endo,3-exo-dicarboxylic acid.
What type of isomers is shown by maleic acid and fumaric acid?
Maleic acid and fumaric acid are cis-trans isomers of each other.
Why is fumaric acid a stable acid?
Fumaric acid being the trans isomer will have the least stearic hindrance as the carboxylic acid groups will be on the different sides of the double bonds-hence causing the least electronic repulsion. Fumaric acid will be more stable as compared to maleic acid.
What has the author John Jacob Kessler written?
John Jacob Kessler has written: 'The nitrile of fumaric acid' -- subject(s): Fumaric acid, Nitriles
Is formation of malic acid from fumaric acid found in the mitochondria?
yes
What is the acid present in carrot?
Malic Acid, Citric acid, Isocitric Acid, Succinic Acid and Fumaric Acid.

What is an aspartase?
An aspartase is an enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of aspartic acid to fumaric acid and ammonia.
What is the chemical formula for trans-butenedioic acid?
trans-butenedioic acid,C4H4O4 also called fumaric acid
Industrial method of preparation of Fumaric Acid?
1. Maleic anhydride is hydrated. This produces maleic acid. 2. Maleic acid is isomerised in the presence of a catalyst. 3. Fumaric acid is produced. Easy as that! (Except the temperature and pressure have to be kept controlled throughout)
What is the chemical formula fumaric acid?
trans-HO2CCH=CHCO2H or C4H4O4
Will fumaric acid turn urine orange?
Yes. Yes it would
