Natural or Synthetic L-(+) Tartaric Acid - CAS 87-69-4

L-(+) Tartaric Acid — Natural or Synthetic — CAS 87-69-4

Acidity regulator and pH corrector for food and industrial applications

L-(+) tartaric acid — CAS 87-69-4 — is an organic acid used as a acidity regulator, pH corrector, and complexing agent in the agri-food, enological, and industrial sectors.

Available in natural quality (of viticultural origin) or synthetic, it is widely used to adjust the acidity of formulations and stabilize certain products.

DESCRIPTION

L-(+) tartaric acid is a white crystalline powder naturally present in grapes. It is particularly used in enology and food processing for its effectiveness in regulating pH.

In industry, it acts as:

• Acidifying agent.

• Metal complexing agent.

• Chemical intermediate.

Its L-(+) form corresponds to the naturally active isomer, recognized for food applications.

ADVANTAGES
