L-tartaric acid is a white crystalline organic acid that occurs naturally in many plants, most notably in grapes. Its salt, potassium bitartrate, commonly known as cream of tartar, develops naturally in the process of winemaking. It is commonly mixed with sodium bicarbonate and is sold as baking powder used as a leavening agent in food preparation. The acid itself is added to foods as an antioxidant and to impart its distinctive sour taste.
1) L-Tartaric Acid is widely present in fruits, especially grapes. L-Tartaric Acid is the cheapest of the optical activity of
tartaric
acid, L-Tartaric Acid is often referred to as "natural tartaric acid."
2)Industry, L-Tartaric Acid are still the main or
even sole source of
natural products. Wine industry by-products of tartar, acid treatment
can be obtained by L-Tartaric Acid. Italy is the worlds L-Tartaric Acid
largest producer of this wine made with the size of the country are not
unrelated.
3)L-Tartaric Acid maximum use of the beverage additive.
Then the drug industry raw materials. In modern organic synthesis is
very important chiral ligands and hand temper, L-Tartaric Acid used to
produce many well-known chiral catalysts, and E334 as a chiral source to
synthesize complex natural product molecules. L-Tartaric Acid is also
an antioxidant, has been applied in the food industry.
