Tartaric acid usually appears as a white crystalline powder or colorless crystals that are easily soluble in water.

Chemical formula: C4H6O6

Physical properties:

Molecular mass: 150.09 g/mol

Melting point: 170–172 °C

Solubility: freely soluble in water.

APPLICATIONS

– Acidity regulator: Tartaric acid is actively used to regulate the pH level in various products. It helps maintain a stable taste and texture in foods such as juices, soft drinks, sauces and canned goods.

– Antioxidant: Tartaric acid is used as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation of foods, including confectionery, cheeses and other food products.

– Preservative: Tartaric acid helps preserve foods, including fruit juices and purees, extending their shelf life and maintaining their flavor.

– Wine and soft drink production: In winemaking, tartaric acid is an important ingredient to regulate the acidity of wine, which affects its flavor. It is also used in soft drinks to achieve the desired level of acidity.

– Confectionery production: Tartaric acid is an important ingredient in the manufacture of various confectionery products, including marmalade, lollipops and jellies, where it helps provide the desired consistency and flavor.

– Special diets: Tartaric acid is often used in products for people on special diets (e.g., low-salt diets) because it is a natural and safe acidity regulator.
