PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
D-Tartaric acid, also known as (S,S)-tartrate or D-threaric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. It is used as a resolving agent in organic synthesis. It is used as a precursor for the preparation of its ester derivatives like D-tartaric acid diethyl ester, D-tartaric acid dimethyl ester and D-tartaric acid diiso-propyl ester. It is widely used in the food industry as a beer foaming agent, for food acidity regulations and as a flavoring agent.
