	Succinic Acid (Succinate) - Cheerz
		In the 1930's and 40's, European biochemists discovered that succinic acid is an amino acid created naturally in every cell of the body capable of aerobic respiration, participating in the citric acid, or Krebs cycle.
		Succinic acid was also prescribed to victims of the Spitak earthquake in Armenia.
		Succinic acid has more recently become renowned as the long-anticipated remedy for the alcohol hangover because of its remarkable effect in safely supporting the body's natural ability to process acetaldehyde, alcohol's first and most toxic metabolite.

	Succinic acid - LoveToKnow 1911
		Numerous salts of the acid are known, the basic ferric salt being occasionally used in quantitative analysis for the separation of iron from aluminium.
		Succinic anhydride, C 2 H 4 (CO) 2 0, is obtained by heating the acid or its sodium salt with acetic anhydride; by the action of acetyl chloride on the barium salt; by distilling a mixture of succinic acid and succinyl chloride, or by heating succinyl chloride with anhydrous oxalic acid.
		CH (CH 3) C02H, is formed by the dry distillation of tartaric acid; by heating pyruvic acid with concentrated hydrochloric acid to 180° C.; by the reduction of citraconic and mesaconic acids with sodium amalgam; and by the hydrolysis of /-cyanbutyric acid.

		barium salt; by distilling a mixture of succinic acid and succinyl chloride, or by heating succinyl chloride with anhydrous oxalic acid.
		Methyl succinic acid (pyrotartaric acid), H02C•CH2•CH(CH2).0O2H, is formed by the dry distillation of tartaric acid; by heating pyruvic acid with concentrated hydrochloric acid to 18o° C.; by the reduction of eitraconic and mesaconic acids with sodium amalgam; and by the hydrolysis of 0-cyanbutyric acid.
		It may be distinguished from the isomeric ethylene succinic acid by the fact that its sodium salt does not give a precipitate with ferric chloride.

	Grape Stomper on Wine Acids
		In the United States, titratable acid in wine is expressed in grams of acid per 100 milliliters of wine, and titratable acid is calculated as if all of the different acids in the wine were tartaric acid.
		The acetic acid risk is much smaller after wine has been clarified and stabilized, and winemakers often increase the acid content of finished white wines by adding small amounts of citric acid.
		Succinic acid is formed by yeast, and small quantities of this acid are always produced during the primary fermentation.

	Process for the production of succinic acid by anaerobic fermentation - Patent 5143833
		The succinic acid can be isolated from the fermentation broth if it is present in high enough concentrations by maintaining the pH at about 5.8 to about 6.4 and adding calcium hydroxide so that calcium succinate precipitates.
		Succinic acid and its derivatives are widely used as specialty chemicals for applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
		Furthermore, the succinate is produced in sufficiently high concentration in the fermentation medium to permit economical recovery of succinic acid by simple purification method.

	Current Vineyard And Cellar Events
		Usually the fixed acid content of wines decreases during and after fermentation concomitant with a decrease in the two most important fixed acids in grapes and wine, namely tartaric acid, as a result of tartrate precipitation, and malic acid, due to malolactic fermentation.
		Succinic acid may be formed by yeasts from sugar or amino acids.
		Under certain conditions it may be beneficial if succinic acid is formed during fermentation so as to cause an increase in the total acid content of wines.

	Winemaking: Acidity in Wines
		Succinic acid is a product of yeast fermentation and found in trace amounts in all wines.
		Its taste is a mixture of acid, salt and bitterness, and, while this description is rather indistinct, it is present in all wines and beers and contributes to total acidity.
		Fumaric acid in food grade powder form is sometimes used as a partial substitute for additions of tartaric acid because it tends to inhibit malo-lactic fermentation when used in the range of 1.5 to 5.7 grams per gallon (achieving an increase of 0.05 to 0.15% acidity).

	Chemical process - Patent 4100188
		It is disclosed that water soluble salts of carboxyalkoxy succinic acids are obtained in solid form by crystallization from mixed solvent systems wherein the solvents are water plus a lower alkanol having up to about six carbon atoms per molecule.
		The process of claim 1 wherein the salt is a sodium salt of carboxymethoxy succinic acid and the amount of said salt is from about 10 to about 40 percent by weight based on the water present.
		The properties of systems of potassium salts of carboxymethoxy succinic acid are generally similar to those of the trisodium systems; however, the solubility of the potassium salts is higher than that of the sodium salts so that one usually prefers systems which are more concentrated in salt than the sodium salt systems.

	Development of matrix and coated units
		Acid base indicator methyl red was introduced into tablets to visually monitor the maintenance of acidic microenvironment inside the tablets.

	Krebs cycle — FactMonster.com
		This cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, was named in recognition of the German chemist Hans Krebs, whose research into the cellular utilization of glucose contributed greatly to the modern understanding of this aspect of metabolism.
		After condensation, the oxaloacetic acid and acetyl CoA react to produce citric acid, which serves as a substrate for seven distinct enzyme-catalyzed reactions that occur in sequence and proceed with the formation of seven intermediate compounds, including succinic acid, fumaric acid, and malic acid.
		Malic acid is converted to oxaloacetic acid, which, in turn, reacts with yet another molecule of acetyl CoA, thus producing citric acid, and the cycle begins again.
