Tartaric acid, namely 2,3-dihydroxysuccinic acid, is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C4H6O6. It exists in many plants, such as grapes and tamarind. It is also one of the main organic acids in wine. As an Antioxidant added to food, it can make food sour. The biggest use of tartaric acid is beverage additive and raw material of pharmaceutical industry.

Tartaric acid can complex with a variety of metal ions and can be used as cleaning agent and polishing agent for metal surface. Potassium sodium tartrate (Rocher chemicalbook salt) can be used to prepare Fehling reagent, medicine, as a laxative and diuretic, and as an intermediate of cinchofen. Its crystal has piezoelectric properties and can be used in electronic industry. It is mainly used as sour agent, biochemical reagent, racemate resolution agent and pharmaceutical resolution agent in beverages, candy, bread and gelatin.
