Description
Succinic acid(SA) is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid resulting from the formal oxidation of each of the terminal methyl groups of butane to the corresponding carboxy group. It is an intermediate metabolite in the citric acid cycle. It has a role as a nutraceutical, a radiation protective agent, an anti-ulcer drug, a micronutrient and a fundamental metabolite. It is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid and a C4-dicarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a succinate(1-).

Application
Succinic acid naturally imparts flavor to food. It has a flavor-enhancing effect, which is why it is used as an additive in processed foods.
It has been suggested that it has effects on flavors that cannot be duplicated by other acids in foods, such as the so-called umami flavor in some cheeses.
Succinic acid is the raw material for obtaining products of high industrial value such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-butanediol, gamma-butyrolactone, adipic acid, linear aliphatic esters, N-methylpyrrolidone and biodegradable polymers.
These compounds and materials have numerous applications in the plastics industry (elastic fibers, elastic films), adhesives, industrial solvents (paint and lacquer removal), cleaners in microelectronics, medicine (anesthetics, drug vehicles), agriculture, textiles and cosmetics.
Succinic acid is an ingredient in some pharmaceutical preparations. Succinimides, derived from succinic acid, are used in medicine as anticonvulsants.
It is part of corrosion inhibitor formulas, serves as a plasticizer for polymers and is used in perfumery. It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants and detergents.
Succinic acid can be used as a monomer for the production of biodegradable polymers and plastics.
It is used in agricultural formulas for the growth of plantations.
Succinic acid salts are used in vehicle coolants and to promote de-icing, being less polluting than other compounds.
Succinate esters are used as additives in fuels.
Storge & Handling
