Fumaric acid is a functional ingredient that is applicable across food, beverage, animal nutrition, industrial, pharmaceutical, and personal care markets.

Pecmate™,

Pecmate™ K, Potassium Hydrogen Malate
Bartek has recently unveiled a new innovation for products marketed as “sodium-free”: potassium-based Pecmate™ K. Pecmate™ K functions just as the original ingredient while allowing the removal of sodium from the ingredient statement due to its sodium-free profile.
