What is Sodium Fumarate?
Sodium fumarate, also known as disodium fumarate, is the sodium salt of fumaric acid. It functions primarily as an acidity regulator and is often used in processed foods to maintain or alter the pH level. This ingredient can be synthesized through chemical processes or produced via fermentation, which may involve corn derivatives. Due to its potential corn-based production method, individuals with corn allergies or sensitivities should verify the source with the manufacturer.
