E334 - Tartaric Acid

Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring acid found in fruits such as figs, pineapples, or grapes. It is also known as "potassium acid salt."

Tartaric acid is generally industrially extracted from wine by-products: tartars and wine lees recovered from the bottom and walls of tanks. These winemaking residues are dried, purified, and rid of residual impurities. They are then transformed into a white, odorless powder with a slightly bitter taste: natural tartaric acid.

Applications:

• As an acidifier and flavor enhancer in candies, jellies, jams, ice creams, or fruit pastes.
• As a stabilizer and antioxidant in preserves of fruits, vegetables, meats, or fish. It also helps stabilize the pH, color, taste, and nutritional value of canned foods.
• As an additive in edible oils and fats to prevent rancidity due to its antioxidant effect.
• As a taste additive in carbonated beverages.
• As an emulsifier and preservative in the production of industrial bread and pastries.
