Fumaric Acid

Product overview

Encapsol Fumaric Acid (Hot Melt Coated) is an advanced encapsulated acidulant designed for controlled and delayed release. Using specialized hot melt coating technology, fumaric acid is protected during dough preparation and thermal processing. This ensures that the acid remains inactive during mixing and sheeting, and releases gradually post-baking, delivering effective microbial inhibition, improved shelf stability, and consistent product quality.

Performance in Tortilla Applications

Provides superior mold inhibition compared to direct fumaric acid addition. The encapsulation prevents premature acid interaction with leavening agents and dough systems. Ensures uniform acid distribution, maintains dough machinability, and activates at the optimal stage to enhance shelf life without impacting texture or taste.

Key Functionalities & Benefits

• Controlled and sustained acid release

• Improved stability during mixing and baking

• Effective mold and rope spoilage control

• Reduced interference with leavening systems

• Maintains dough handling and extensibility

• Uniform dispersion in flour systems
