Buy High-Purity Tartaric Acid 99.5-99.7% | Food Grade Acidulant
Premium Tartaric Acid for Food, Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Applications
Tartaric Acid (CAS No. 87-69-4) is a naturally occurring organic acid, widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and laboratory-grade applications. Supplied in high-purity 99.5% and 99.7% forms, this white crystalline solid is available in AR (Analytical Reagent) and LAB grades, offering consistent quality and high solubility.
In the food and beverage industry, Tartaric Acid serves as an acidulant, pH adjuster, and antioxidant stabilizer. In pharmaceuticals, it is used in effervescent tablets, as an excipient, and in topical preparations. Its chelating and buffering properties also make it suitable for cosmetic formulations and laboratory chemical reactions. For comprehensive food additive regulations, refer to FDA’s food ingredient safety database and detailed pharmaceutical excipient information at the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council.
This product is stable under standard storage conditions and maintains a shelf life of 5 years when stored in a cool, dry environment in tightly sealed containers. For related food processing chemicals and pharmaceutical ingredients, explore our pharmaceutical excipients.
