FUMARIC ACID
Description:
FUMARIC ACID is an organic acid that forms part of a number of major biochemical metabolic processes in cells, which means it is already found naturally in wine. In the winemaking industry, it is intended to be used on wine as an additive for inhibiting malolactic fermentation. It helps not only to preserve malic acid in wines but also to reduce sulphur dioxide levels and inhibit the growth and activity of lactic acid bacteria. It comes in the form of a fine, odourless, mixed grain powder. It is much less soluble when compared to other organic acids of oenological interest.
