Mucic Acid

Mucic Acid is insoluble in alcohol, and nearly insoluble in cold water. Due to the symmetry in the molecule, it is optically inactive even though it has chiral carbon atoms (i.e., it is a meso compound). It  is made using utmost-grade components and advanced technology as per prevailing market trends. This Mucic Acid is available in the market at industry leading prices.
