What is Ammonium L-tartrate？

Ammonium L-tartrate, also known as diammonium tartrate, is a salt that is formed by the combination of ammonium ions and L-tartaric acid. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly acidic taste. It is a byproduct of wine making process, It can be used as an ingredient in food, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial applications. In food industry, it is used as a leavening agent, acidity regulator, and flavoring agent. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as a diuretic, laxative, and anti-inflammatory agent. In industry, it is used as a cleaning agent, corrosion inhibitor, and analytical reagent. It is considered safe to use as a food additive and has been granted the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The appearance of Ammonium L-tartrate？

Ammonium L-tartrate typically appears as a white or off-white, odorless, crystalline powder. It has a slightly acidic taste, and is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. It is also soluble in water and most common organic solvents. However, its solubility varies depending on the temperature and the concentration of the solution. At high concentrations and low temperatures, Ammonium L-tartrate may form a paste or a solid. When used in food and pharmaceutical applications, it is often mixed with other excipients to improve its handling properties and stability.

The active ingredient of Ammonium L-tartrate？

The active ingredient in Ammonium L-tartrate is L-tartaric acid. L-tartaric acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that is found in a variety of plants, including grapes, tamarinds, and passion fruits. Ammonium L-tartrate is a salt of L-tartaric acid, which means it is formed by the combination of L-tartaric acid with ammonium ions. The chemical formula of Ammonium L-tartrate is C4H6O6.NH4. It is used in a wide range of applications, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals. In food and beverage applications, it is used as a flavoring agent, acidity regulator, and leavening agent. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as a diuretic and antacid. In industrial chemicals, it is used as a pH buffer and chelating agent.
