Calciumbitartrat

Calcium bitartrate is a chemical compound with the formula CaH2(C4H4O5)2. It is a salt composed of calcium ions and bitartrate (tartaric acid) anions. This white, crystalline powder is commonly used in the food industry as an acidity regulator and stabilizer. It is particularly useful in beverages, such as wine and beer, where it helps to maintain the desired level of acidity and prevents the precipitation of calcium salts. In the pharmaceutical industry, calcium bitartrate is used as an antacid and a calcium supplement. It is also employed in the production of certain medications and dietary supplements. The compound is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. Calcium bitartrate is non-toxic and has a low solubility in water, making it an effective buffering agent. Its stability and compatibility with various food ingredients make it a preferred choice in the food industry.
