Succinic acid, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti succinic acid, ndi kristalo wopanda mtundu womwe umapezeka mwachilengedwe mu zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba zosiyanasiyana.Ndi dicarboxylic acid ndipo ndi ya banja la carboxylic acid.M'zaka zaposachedwa, succinic acid yakopa chidwi kwambiri chifukwa chakugwiritsa ntchito kwake m'mafakitale osiyanasiyana monga mankhwala, ma polima, chakudya ndi ulimi.
Chimodzi mwazinthu zazikulu za succinic acid ndi kuthekera kwake ngati mankhwala ongowonjezwdwa amoyo.Itha kupangidwa kuchokera kuzinthu zongowonjezedwanso monga nzimbe, chimanga ndi zinyalala biomass.Izi zimapangitsa succinic acid kukhala njira yabwino yopangira mankhwala opangidwa ndi petroleum, zomwe zimathandizira kuti chitukuko chikhale chokhazikika komanso kuchepetsa mapazi a carbon.
Succinic acid imakhala ndi mankhwala abwino kwambiri, kuphatikiza kusungunuka kwambiri m'madzi, mowa, ndi zosungunulira zina.Imakhala yotakasuka kwambiri ndipo imatha kupanga esters, mchere ndi zotumphukira zina.Kusinthasintha kumeneku kumapangitsa succinic acid kukhala wapakatikati popanga mankhwala osiyanasiyana, ma polima ndi mankhwala.
