Tartaric Acid
ZIO
Tartaric Acid is a premium, naturally sourced organic acid known for its strong, refreshing sour taste and multi-functional benefits, making it indispensable in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial industries. Derived primarily from grapes and tamarind, our natural Tartaric Acid is available in three key forms—DL-Tartaric Acid, L(+)-Tartaric Acid, and D(-)-Tartaric Acid—to fit diverse application requirements. As a versatile food additive, it acts as a potent acidulant, antioxidant, and chelating agent, enhancing flavor in beverages (like wine and fruit juices) and preserving freshness in candies, jams, and bakery products. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a reliable pharmaceutical stabilizer and buffer, while in industrial settings, it excels at metal chelation, electroplating, and glass polishing. Its strong light and heat stability under normal conditions ensure consistent performance across all use cases.
Property | Value |
Appearance | Colorless transparent crystals or white crystalline powder |
Molecular Formula | C4H6O6 |
Molecular Weight | 150.09 g/mol |
Melting Point | 168–170 °C |
Solubility | Soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ether |
Stability | Good resistance to light and heat, stable under normal conditions |
Main Forms | DL-Tartaric Acid, L(+)-Tartaric Acid, D(-)-Tartaric Acid |

Our product’s foundation is high-purity Tartaric Acid (chemical formula C4H6O6), extracted from natural plant sources without synthetic fillers or contaminants. This pure natural Tartaric Acid delivers a clean, crisp sourness that aligns with consumer demand for "clean label" food additives. The inclusion of specific isomers—DL-Tartaric Acid, L(+)-Tartaric Acid, and D(-)-Tartaric Acid—allows for customization: L(+)-Tartaric Acid is favored in pharmaceuticals for its biological compatibility, DL-Tartaric Acid is cost-effective for industrial use, and D(-)-Tartaric Acid is used in specialized chemical synthesis. This focus on pure, isomer-specific ingredients ensures our product meets the strict standards of pharmaceutical intermediate and industrial applications.
As a top-tier acidulant, our Tartaric Acid enhances the taste of beverages (from wine to sports drinks) and adds brightness to bakery goods like cakes and pastries. As an antioxidant, it prevents flavor oxidation, extending product shelf life, and as a leavening agent, it improves dough texture and volume.
Serving as a pharmaceutical stabilizer, it regulates the pH of drug formulations, preventing active ingredients from breaking down. It also acts as a buffer, ensuring medications remain effective throughout their shelf life, and as a pharmaceutical intermediate, it supports the synthesis of various drugs.
In industrial processes, it functions as a powerful chelating agent—binding to metal ions to ensure uniform electroplating, reduce mineral buildup in water treatment, and achieve a smooth finish in glass polishing. It also enhances color fastness in dyeing applications.
As an additive in agricultural formulations and feed additive blends, it adjusts gut pH in livestock, improving nutrient absorption and supporting healthy digestion. This boosts animal productivity and reduces the risk of digestive illnesses.
Derived from renewable plant sources, our natural Tartaric Acid aligns with sustainability goals. Its biodegradability reduces environmental impact in industrial and agricultural use, making it a preferred choice for eco-conscious brands.
Storage Guidelines: Store Tartaric Acid in a cool, dry, and ventilated space, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Prolonged humidity can cause clumping, which may slow dissolution in liquid formulations (e.g., fruit juices).
Solubility Tips: It is highly soluble in water and ethanol but slightly soluble in ether. For liquid applications, stir gently at room temperature—excessive heat is unnecessary and may waste energy.
Handling Precautions: Avoid inhaling the powder or direct eye contact. If inhaled, move to a well-ventilated area; if it gets in eyes, rinse with water for several minutes. Wear gloves when handling large quantities to prevent skin dryness.
Compatibility Checks: When used as a chelating agent in industrial processes, avoid mixing with incompatible heavy metals without testing—this may reduce chelation efficiency. In food, avoid overuse, as its strong sour taste can overpower other flavors.
DL-Tartaric Acid is a cost-effective racemic mixture, ideal for industrial uses like metal chelation. L(+)-Tartaric Acid is naturally occurring, making it perfect for food additive and pharmaceutical applications due to its biological compatibility.
Yes, it is a traditional acidulant in wine production. It adjusts wine’s pH to enhance flavor, improve stability, and prevent spoilage—making it a staple for winemakers worldwide.
Both are safe, but our natural Tartaric Acid is preferred by brands seeking plant-derived ingredients. It avoids synthetic byproducts, aligning with consumer demand for clean, natural food additives.
