Description

Calcium meso-tartrate trihydrate is a crystalline compound that has been used for the stabilization of food. Calcium meso-tartrate trihydrate can be used to reduce the effect of conformational changes in proteins by binding to their hydrophobic amino acid side chains. It also has organoleptic properties, such as taste and odor, which are important for stabilizing food products. Calcium meso-tartrate trihydrate has a small dipole that allows it to interact with other molecules in solution and is therefore useful for calibrating solutions. The macroscopic and microscopic properties of calcium meso-tartrate trihydrate have been studied through x-ray crystallography and x-ray diffraction techniques. A chiral form of calcium meso-tartrate trihydrate has been found in extracellular environments. This form interacts with motile bacteria, such as E. coli, which may be due to its negative
