    . TARTARIC ACID (C4H6O6)

Key applications :
Winemaking: Wine acidity correction.
Food Industry: In the manufacture of juices, soft drinks, fruit candy and pastries.
Bakery: Avoiding pigments that are formed during baking, keeping the original color of the product; helping in the process of emulsification and yeast stabilization.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Used as a pharmaceutical adjuvant (buffer agent, acid component and stabilizaer in effervescent powders and pills).
Textile Industry: As a mordant in silk dyeing, silkscreen printing on cotton fabrics; to brighten up brigth colors of silk.
Cosmetics Industry: Shampoos and hair lotions to stimulate the local bood flow (as they are irritating to the scalp and skin).
Chemical Industry: To obtain tartrates and acting as sequestrant of metal ions.
