Description

Fumaric acid or trans-butenedioic acid is the chemical compound with the formula HO2CCH=CHCO2H. This white crystalline compound is one of two isomeric unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, the other being maleic acid. Fumaric acid has a fruit-like taste. As a food additive, it is used as an acidity regulator and is denoted by the E number E297. It is generally used in beverages and baking powders for which requirements are placed on purity. We offer Commercial pure, USP NF and FCC Food grade.

Fumaric Acid USP NF

C4H4O4 — 116.07
2-Butenedioic acid, E-.
Fumaric acid [110-17-8].

Fumaric Acid contains not less than 99.5 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of C4H4O4, calculated on the anhydrous basis.

Identification: Dissolve about 10 mg in 25 mL of water, and to this solution add 1 mL of a solution prepared by mixing 20 mL of copper sulfate solution (1 in 5) and 8 mL of pyridine: a precipitate is formed in the blue solution within 1 minute.
Water: 0.5%.
Residue: not more than 0.1%.
Heavy metals: 0.001%.
Limit of maleic acid: To pass the test. Not more than 0.1% of maleic acid is found.
Organic volatile impurities: meets the requirements.
Assay: Transfer about 1 g of Fumaric Acid, accurately weighed, to a conical flask, add 50 mL of methanol, and warm gently on a steam bath to effect solution. Cool, add phenolphthalein TS, and titrate with 0.5 N sodium hydroxide VS to the first appearance of a pink color that persists for not less than 30 seconds. Perform a blank titration, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.5 N sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 29.02 mg of C4H4O4.
