Kalciumtartalmú

Kalciumtartalmú is a Hungarian term that translates to "containing calcium tartrate". Calcium tartrate is a calcium salt of tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many fruits, most notably grapes. Calcium tartrate is a white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water.

In winemaking, calcium tartrate can precipitate out of wine, particularly at lower temperatures. This precipitation is a natural process and is not harmful. It is often referred to as "wine diamonds" or "tartrate crystals". Winemakers may take steps to prevent or remove these crystals, such as cold stabilization, to improve the wine's appearance.

Beyond winemaking, calcium tartrate has various applications. It is used in the food industry as a leavening agent in baking powders and as a stabilizer. It can also be found in some dietary supplements as a source of calcium, though other calcium salts are more commonly used for this purpose. In dentistry, it has been explored for its potential in remineralizing tooth enamel. The compound's chemical properties, including its stability and ability to react with acids, make it useful in these diverse applications.
