Adipic Acid
Andercol S.A. markets high quality Adipic Acid.
The food industry uses adipic acid as an acidulant in gelatins, bottled beverages, gelatin desserts and powdered fruit concentrates. It gives food a tart flavor and its low pH prevents the growth of some microorganisms that cause food decay. It is used as a buffer to keep pH range between 2.5-3.0 as well as a gellifier in jellies, gelatins and desserts.
Its hygroscopic nature gives dry products a greater lifespan during storage, even when exposed to highly humid environmental conditions.
In some cases, cheese contains adipic acid in its formulations.
