What Are the Applications of Tartaric Acid?

Dec. 27, 2021

Tartaric acid is found in a variety of plants and is one of the main organic acids in wine, depositing large amounts of tartar in the manufacture of wine. It is also commonly found in molds and lichen species. It is used as an antioxidant added to foods to give them a sour taste.


Tartaric acid is a carboxylic acid found in a variety of plants and is used as an antioxidant added to foods while giving them an acidic taste.


Tartaric acid is an organic acid found in plants, such as grapes, tamarind and bananas. It is a dibasic acid, which means that the molecule that can be ionized in water has a hydrogen atom on each side. Tartaric acid salt is also known as sodium tartarate. Swiss chemists invented the modern method of obtaining tartaric acid.


This acid can be produced naturally, but it can also be produced synthetically. L-tartaric acid and endocyclic tartaric acid are the two forms of tartaric acid, both of which can be synthesized.




One of the interesting properties of tartaric acid is that it is chiral. This means that its internal structure does not have a plane of symmetry and has a mirror image that cannot be superimposed. The hand mirror image, also known as an enantiomer, can be compared to the human hand.


The most common use of tartaric acid is as a food additive. It is often added to specific types of candy to increase the sourness. A typical use of lacto tartaric acid is to stabilize egg whites and is the active ingredient in baking powder. In addition, this acid can be found in wine.


Tartaric acid is also used as an emetic to induce vomiting and has a laxative effect. In addition, it has antioxidant properties. This means that tartaric acid can limit or prevent the oxidation of molecules in the body and prevent the formation of free radicals.


Tartaric acid is widely used as an acidifier for beverages and other foods. Tartaric acid is generally used as an antioxidant synergist, tanning agent, pharmaceutical agent, and chelating agent; it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries. It has a low solubility in water at low temperatures and tends to generate insoluble calcium salts, and it can also complex with a variety of metal ions, which can be used as a cleaning and polishing agent for metal surfaces, and it can also be used as a chemical splitting agent using its optical activity.



In addition to food additives, MONAD has nearly 100 products and can provide about 30,000 kinds of products, mainly involving APIs, pharmaceutical intermediates and natural extracts. If you need to buy, please contact us.
