Adipic acid is a crystalline powder with practically no odor. It is one of the most important industrial chemicals and typically ranks in the top 10 in the terms of volume used annually by the chemical industry.
Adipic acid is mainly used in the production of 6.6nylon. It is also used in resins, plasticizers, lubricants, polyurethanes and food additives.
Adipic acid has the lowest acidity of any of the acids commonly used in foods and has excellent buffering capacity in the range of Ph 2.5 to 3.0. Adipic acid is an acidulant and flavoring agent. It is characterized as stable, nonhygroscopic and slightly soluble. It is used in powdered drinks, beverages, gelatin desserts, loz-enges, and canned vegetables. It is also used as a leavening acidulant in baking powder.
