1. Itaconic acid

   Itaconic acid, or methylidenesuccinic acid, is an organic compound. This dicarboxylic acid is a white solid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone. Historically, itaconic acid was obtained by the distillation of citric acid, but currently it is produced by fermentation.

1. itaconic acid

   Itaconic acid, also known as methylenesuccinic acid, is an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid that is naturally produced by the fermentation of Aspergillus terreus, a type of fungus. It is used in various industrial applications for the production of synthetic resins, synthetic rubber, and plastics due to its ability to polymerize easily. Itaconic acid can also be used as a building block for biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical applications.

1. Itaconic acid

   Itaconic acid, or methylenesuccinic acid, is an organic compound. Itaconic acid is a white crystalline powder. Itaconic acid is a naturally occurring compound, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable. The name itaconic was devised as an anagram of aconitic. Historically, itaconic acid was obtained by the distillation of citric acid. Since the 1960s, it is produced industrially by fermentation of carbohydrates such as glucose using Aspergillus terreus. As such, it is a fully sustainable industrial building block. It is primarily used as a co-monomer in the production of styrene-butadiene-acrylonitrile and acrylate latexes with applications in the paper and architectural coating industry. Since Cargill, the last of the U.S. companies to manufacture itaconic acid, exited the business, itaconic acid has mainly been procured by importing the product directly from China and England, where it is still made by several different companies. In the spring of 2013 itaconic acid was demonstrated to have antimicrobial activity in a paper that also showed the compound was produced by the product of the mammalian gene Immune-Responsive Gene 1.
