What is Tartaric Acid?

Tartaric Acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many fruits, such as grapes. It is a white, crystalline substance with a sour taste. This product is in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Tartaric Acid is commonly used as an acidulant in the food and beverage industry, particularly in the production of wine, where it helps to stabilize both the colour and flavour of the wine. It is also used as an ingredient in baking powders to help with leavening and as a flavour enhancer in soft drinks, fruit juices, and confectionery products.

Manufacturing Tartaric Acid occurs by the oxidation of wine or grape juice, resulting in the formation of crude Tartaric Acid. This form of Tartaric Acid is then purified through a series of processes that involve filtration, precipitation, and recrystallization, resulting in pure Tartaric Acid. Tartaric Acid can also be produced synthetically by reacting maleic anhydride with water, followed by hydrolysis, resulting in the formation of Tartaric Acid.

Food and Beverage manufacturers use it as an acidulant, flavouring agent, and preservative. Tartaric Acid is often used in wine production and other fermented beverages to adjust the acidity levels and enhance flavour. It is also used in baking powder to help the dough rise and create a fluffy texture. Additionally, Tartaric Acid can be found in some candies and fruit-flavoured soft drinks to cause a sour taste.

Tartaric Acid is also within the pharmaceutical industry as an agent for separate compounds and in effervescent tablets to release carbon dioxide gas when dissolved in water. In the cosmetic industry, Tartaric Acid is an ingredient in skincare products to help exfoliate the skin and improve texture. Industrial applications of Tartaric Acid include the production of tanning agents, mordants for dyeing, and some detergents.
