Application scenarios of tartaric acid
Food Industry---Food Emulsifier
Dextral tartaric acid is the main raw material of the food emulsifier diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM). DATEM has strong emulsifying, dispersing and anti-aging effects, can effectively enhance the elasticity and toughness of dough, and is widely used in bread, biscuits, cereal foods, cream and other products.
Beverage Industry---Acidifier
D-tartaric acid is widely used as an acidifier and pH regulator in beverages, candies and other foods to increase the flavor of the product and adjust the acidity and taste.
Medical industry---Drug splitting agent
L-tartaric acid has many irreplaceable functions in medicine, chemical industry and light industry. In medicine, it is mostly used as a splitting agent in product synthesis.
Construction Industry---Retarder
In the field of gypsum and cement, tartaric acid is used as a retarder to extend the setting time of concrete so that fresh concrete can maintain its plasticity for a long time.
Metal industry---Metal polishing agent
D-tartaric acid and DL-tartaric acid can be used as metal surface treatment agents to remove oxide films and rust spots.
