Description

DL-Tartaric acid is a calcium salt of tartaric acid. It is used as a standard in the analysis of total calcium and tartaric acid content in beverages, wines, foodstuffs, and pharmaceuticals. DL-Tartaric acid can be used to prepare standard solutions for the determination of benzalkonium chloride and other natural compounds by chromatographic methods. The rate constants for the reaction between DL-tartaric acid and calcium pantothenate have been determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of chemiluminescent reactions with DL-tartaric acid has been found to be proportional to the concentration of tartrate ions in solution. X-ray diffraction data confirm that DL-tartaric acid is an orthorhombic crystal system with space group P2/c.
