Itaconic acid is also known as methylidene succinic acid. It is white colorless compound in crystalline form that occurs naturally. Itaconic acid is easily biodegradable and non-toxic chemical compound. This acid is mainly used for produce the value added chemicals such as poly-itaconic acid, resins biofuel components, and many more. Moreover, some Aspergillus species like Aspergillus itaconicus and Aspergillus terreus show the ability to incorporate this organic acid and Aspergillus terrus can secrete significant amount to the media (>80g/L).
Market Dynamics
