Succinic acid (butanedioic acid), also known as Spirit of Amber, is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid that naturally occurs in the environment and is produced using liquefied petroleum gas. It also appears naturally in lichens and fungi and is an element of the citric acid cycle.

It is a common organic acid that is formed as a result of anaerobic digestion by most living cells. It is derived as a distillation product of amber and is commonly synthesised via the catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid or its anhydride. It is usually used in the food production, agricultural and manufacturing industries. The acid accounts for about 90% of the non-volatile acids formed during the fermentation process in alcohol.

The acid has the molecular formula C4H6O4 and appears to be in the form of white crystals or shiny white crystalline powder. It has no smell and a very acidic taste. Its pH is 0.1 molar solution: 2.7. It is water-soluble. Its melting point is 185–187° C (365–369° F). Its Net Charge is 0 and has an Average Mass and Monoisotopic Mass of 118.08800 and 118.02661.

Succinic acid is widely used as a precursor in several chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries and is employed for generating many chemicals, including dyes, perfumes, plasticisers, solvents, lacquers, and photographic chemicals, which is driving the market's growth. It also acts as an antibiotic and curative agent as well as an additive, surfactant, and ion chelator in many industries.

Furthermore, it functions as a nutraceutical, a micronutrient, a radiation protective agent, an anti-ulcer drug, and a fundamental metabolite. Additionally, in the food industry, it is used as a sequestrant, buffer, and neutralising agent.
