In recent years, the development of emerging biotechnology has provided strong support for the development of biochemical industry, and a number of key special projects such as "synthetic biology" and "renewable energy" have been launched, continuously injecting strong impetus into technological innovation and industrial development in the field of biochemical industry. Nowadays, there are many examples of important raw materials based on biological routes, such as tartaric acid contained in plants, citric acid (a variety of new polymer monomers), etc. Today we will talk about tartaric acid.
Tartaric acid, is it an unfamiliar chemical term? If you love wine and have heard of diamonds in wine, you must be impressed. Tartaric acid is a small, flaky, transparent particle similar to diamond contained in wine, which is harmless and is a natural ingredient, usually formed in red and white wines that have not yet been cooled and stabilized. Around 800 AD, the alchemist Jaber first isolated tartaric acid from potassium tartaric acid.
From a modern point of view: Tartaric Acid, or dihydroxysuccinic acid, is a natural ingredient found in grape fruits or other fruits (such as bananas, tamarinds, sour horns) that form crystals at low temperatures. It is unique to grapes, does not exist in other fruits, and tartaric acid is also the most abundant acid in wine, which plays a vital role in the freshness and acidity of finished wine, which will directly affect the pH value and long-term stability of wine.
Acid is indispensable to wine, and it can be called the skeleton of wine! With the development of the biochemical industry, the role of tartaric acid has also been further excavated. Refined tartaric acid with low impurity content and high purity. As an antioxidant added to food, it can make food have a sour taste, and it is used daily to regulate and improve the aroma effect, giving you more delicious enjoyment. Huian Chemical has a variety of high-quality raw materials and production additives, providing customers with assured products, whether in quality, service or price, can easily meet your needs!
In addition, tartaric acid also played an important role in the discovery of chemical chirality, tartaric acid has two mutually symmetrical chiral carbons, with three optical isomers: L-tartaric acid, dextro-D-tartaric acid, and racemic tartaric acid, of which dextrochanomics are the most common. According to Hui'an Xiaobian, dl-tartaric acid, one of the new varieties of food additives, has been listed as an acidity regulator in the "National Standard for Food Safety Food Additive Use Standard" (GB 2760), allowing it to be used in food categories such as batter, flour, fried powder, fried flour products and so on.
Tartaric acid, like the master magician, can change into different incarnations to serve our daily lives, including: as a food additive, production raw materials and chemical raw materials, used to prepare many famous chiral catalysts, and as a chiral source to synthesize complex natural product molecules; in the mirror industry, tartaric acid is an important additive and reducing agent, which can control the formation rate of silver mirrors and obtain a very uniform coating.
Huian Chemical is also ploughing out the future of a subdivision industry belonging to tartaric acid with passion and innovation, and contributing its own strength to the development of the biological industry. Its industrial tartaric acid (origin: Zhejiang Hongshan, Zhejiang Jinlong), food grade tartaric acid (origin: Changzhou), high-purity tartaric acid (origin: Rhodia) plays an active role in stabilizing!
