Sodium tartrates are the sodium salts of tartaric acid, a natural organic acid that is in many plants especially grapes, bananas and tamarinds. Commercially it is manufactured as a by-product of the wine industry. The sediment and other waste products from the fermentation process are neutralised, and then the precipitate is treated with sulphuric acid to produce tartaric acid. This produces a transparent crystalline powder which is soluble in water, and then used as an acidity regulator, and anti-oxidant in food. |
