Natural Occurrence
Tartaric acid is widely found in nature, predominantly in fruits like grapes, apricots, and apples. The potassium salt of tartaric acid, known as potassium bitartrate or cream of tartar, is a byproduct of winemaking.Industrial Production
Commercially, tartaric acid is often produced as a byproduct of wine production. The process involves:- Extraction: The sediment left in wine barrels, known as "lees," is treated to extract potassium bitartrate.
- Purification: The crude potassium bitartrate is then purified and converted to tartaric acid.
