Among its several industrial applications, maleic anhydride is an intermediate for the production of malic acid and fumaric acid, which are used to enhance texture, flavor, and stability of food products. In particular, malic acid acts as an acidity regulator, helping maintain the desired pH levels and enhance the flavor of foods and beverages; furthermore, malic acid is also a precursor in the production of fumaric acid, another food additive used for similar purposes.

Alessandro Bernini, Maire CEO, commented: “This agreement shows the versatility of Nextchem’s high-value technology proposition, enhancing our presence in new geographies. Conser consolidates its position as a world leader in the field of maleic anhydride technology and its unique offering as a top tier technology provider, also improving production processes on operating plants.”
