Tartaric Acid

Oh, the many uses of tartaric acid.

Whether it's used to give wine that special bite, to preserve the quality and flavor of foods, or to produce Cream of Tartar for the baking industry, tartaric acid is a very important food additive.

Scientifically, tartaric acid is an organic compound that's naturally present in the juice of some fruits, including tangerines and grapes.

It was originally produced as a by-product of the wine industry, and served to prevent bacterial growth in wine vats.

And of course, it's responsible for some of the tartness of wine and for adding complexity and flavor to foods and other beverages, too.

Tartaric acid is added to foods in the manufacturing process to give them a sour taste or to serve as an antioxidant, and it can also improve both the quality and stability of a variety of foods in the manufacturing process.

One of its important by-products is cream of tartar, which bakers can attest is absolutely necessary to give beaten egg whites the perfect volume and to give candies and frostings that wonderful creamy, mellow consistency.
