Advantages of DL-Tartaric acid
- Unique sour taste characteristics
As a sour agent in the food industry, DL-tartaric acid has a stronger sour taste than citric acid and can bring a more sharp sour taste experience to the product, which is a significant feature that distinguishes it from common sour agents such as citric acid.
- Good metal complexation ability
In the field of medicine, DL-tartaric acid has excellent metal complexation ability. This complexation ability helps to improve the synthesis and stability of certain drugs, for example, in some drugs to treat heavy metal poisoning, DL-tartaric acid can be complexed with heavy metal ions to promote their excretion from the body.
- Balance of stability and reactivity
In terms of chemical properties, DL-tartaric acid shows good stability under certain conditions and has appropriate reactivity at the same time. It has a certain tolerance to heat and acid and alkali, and in some production processes that require high temperature or acid and alkali environments, it can maintain its own chemical properties and is not easy to decompose or deteriorate. The stability of DL-tartaric acid enables it to play a role in high temperature, acid-base environment processes such as food processing and chemical synthesis.
- Chirality and optical activity characteristics (in specific applications)
Although DL-tartaric acid is racemic and not optically active, it can be used as a starting material or an auxiliary reagent in some fields involving chiral synthesis or the study of optically active substances. In asymmetric synthesis, DL-tartaric acid can be converted into optically active tartaric acid derivatives through specific reaction and separation methods, which are used to prepare chiral drugs and chiral catalysts, etc., providing an important basic material for the research and production of chiral compounds

Sour agent
It is often used to make food with a sour taste, such as fruit juice, sodas, fruit jams and different kinds of candies.
Principle of action:
The principle of DL-tartaric acid as a sour agent is mainly based on its ability to ionize hydrogen ions, which enhances flavor by adjusting pH value.
Dl-tartaric acid is a binary organic acid with two carboxyl groups (-COOH) and is able to ionize hydrogen ions (H⁺) in aqueous solutions, thereby reducing the pH of the solution and providing a sour taste.

Raising agent
It is often used to make crispy or fluffy food, such as cake, bread and cookies.
Principle of action:
As a leavening agent, DL-tartaric acid mainly produces carbon dioxide gas by reacting with sodium bicarbonate to expand the volume and soften the texture of food.
The reaction equation is as follows:
C₄H₆O₆+2NaHCO₃→C₄H₄O₆Na₂+2CO₂+2H₂O
In addition, DL-tartaric acid, as an acidic component, can also reduce the pH value of the dough, optimize the fermentation conditions, and enhance the swelling effect.

Treatment for heavy metal poisoning
The application of DL-tartaric acid in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning is mainly based on its chelation, that is, by forming a stable water-soluble complex with heavy metal ions to promote the removal of heavy metals from the body.
The carboxyl (-COOH) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups in DL-tartaric acid can form stable water-soluble complexes with heavy metal ions, such as Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺.
The reaction equation is as follows:
C₄H₆O₆+M²⁺→C₄H₄O₆M+2H⁺
(M²⁺ represents heavy metal ions, such as Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺)
