Calcium tartrate

Product Description

 
Name: Calcium tartrate
CAS Registry Number: 5892-21-7
Calcium tartrate is a byproduct of the wine industry, prepared from wine fermentation dregs. It finds use as a food preservative. 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.
