Product name: Calcium tartrate

CAS No.: 3164-34-9

Molecular Formula:CaC4H4O6

Molar mass:188.15 g/mol

Product Description:
Like tartaric acid, calcium tartrate has two asymmetric carbons, hence it has two chiral isomers and a non-chiral isomer (meso-form). Most calcium tartrate of biological origin is the chiral levorotatory (–) isomer.

Application:
Calcium tartrate is a byproduct of the wine industry, prepared from wine fermentation dregs. It finds use as a food preservative.
