Overview of Mucic Acid
Mucic Acid, also known as Galactaric Acid, is a dicarboxylic organic acid obtained by the oxidation of galactose or lactose. It is primarily used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, speciality chemical, and research compound.
Mucic Acid is valued for its chemical stability, chelating properties, and role in the synthesis of advanced molecules. It is widely used in drug development, polymer research, analytical chemistry, and speciality industrial applications rather than direct consumer use.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Mucic Acid suitable for industrial manufacturing, pharmaceutical R&D, and laboratory applications, with consistent quality and proper documentation.
