Properties | There are three stereoisomers of tartaric acid: stone-spin tartaric acid, L-tartaric acid and meso-tartaric acid. The optical rotation of the mixture of the same amount of right-handed body and left-handed body cancels each other and is called racemic tartaric acid. The racemate does not exist in nature and can be synthesized by chemistry. All kinds of tartaric acid are colorless crystals that are easily soluble in water. |
use | widely used in food industry, such as as beer foaming agent, food sour agent, flavoring agent, used in cool drinks, candy, fruit juice, sauce, cold vegetables, baking powder, etc. tartaric acid is widely used as an acidifier for beverages and other foods, this use is similar to citric acid. The combination of tartaric acid and tannin can be used as a mordant for acid dyes. It is also used in some development and fixing operations in the photographic industry. Its iron salt is photosensitive, so it can be used to make blueprints. Tartaric acid can be complexed with a variety of metal ions and can be used as a cleaning agent and polishing agent for metal surfaces. Potassium sodium tartrate (Rochelle salt) can be used to prepare Feilin reagent, can also be used as a laxative and diuretic in medicine, and can also be used as an intermediate of occinfen. Its crystal has piezoelectric properties and can be used in the electronics industry. used as chromatographic analysis reagent and masking agent used as medical resolution agent, food additive, biochemical reagent, etc. Uses: This product is widely used in food industry, such as as beer foaming agent, food sour agent, flavoring agent, used in cool drinks, candy, fruit juice, sauce, cold vegetables, baking powder, etc. This product complies with the Japanese Food Additives.

Mainly used in beverages, candy, bread, gelatin as sour agent, biochemical reagents, racemate splitting agent, pharmaceutical splitting agent. It is also used in photography, can manufacturing, printing and dyeing, pottery industry and preparation of other splitting agents and salts, |
Production method | Tartaric acid mainly exists in the form of potassium salt in the fruits of various plants, and a small amount also exists in a free state. Glucose fermentation is commonly used in industry to produce dextrotaric acid; racemate can be made by oxidation of fumaric acid with potassium permanganate; racemate can be made by oxidation of maleic acid with potassium permanganate; L-alcohol acid can be obtained by splitting racemate. In the practical application field of tartaric acid, dextrorotatory tartaric acid or its double salt is mainly used. The by-product of grape brewing tartaric acid is currently the main raw material for the actual production of tartaric acid, and the tartaric acid produced is dextrorotatory. |
