Tartaric Acid CAS Numbe: 87-69-4 & 526-83-0, EC Number: 201-766-0, Molecular Formula: C4H6O6, Molecular Weight: 150.1

Tartaric acid is a white crystalline organic acid that occurs naturally in many plants, most notably in grapes. The acid itself is added to foods as an antioxidant and to impart its distinctive sour taste. Tartaric is an alpha-hydroxy-carboxylic acid, is diprotic and aldaric in acid characteristics, and is a dihydroxyl derivative of succinic acid

The naturally occurring form of the acid is L-(+)-tartaric acid or levotartaric acid. The mirror-image (enantiomeric) form, dextrotartaric acid or D-(-)-tartaric acid, and the achiral form, mesotartaric acid, can be made artificially.
Food and Drug Administration lists tartaric acid in the Generally Recognized As Safe or GRAS category(9) which means this product can be freely used as an additive in processed foods.

DEFINITION
(2R,3R)-2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid.
Content: 99.5 per cent to 101.0 per cent (dried substance).

CHARACTERS
Appearance: White or almost white, crystalline powder or colourless crystals.
Solubility: Very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 per cent).

IDENTIFICATION
A. Solution S (see Tests) is strongly acid.
B. It gives the reactions of tartrates.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 5.0 g in distilled water and dilute to 50 ml with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear and not more intensely coloured than reference solution.
Specific optical rotation: + 12.0 to + 12.8 (dried substance)
Oxalic acid: Maximum 350 ppm, calculated as anhydrous oxalic acid.
Chlorides: Maximum 100 ppm.
Sulphates: Maximum 150 ppm.
Calcium: Maximum 200 ppm.
Heavy metals: Maximum 10 ppm.
Loss on drying: Maximum 0.2 per cent, determined on 1.000 g by drying in an oven at 105 °C
Sulphated ash: Maximum 0.1 per cent, determined on 1.0 g.

ASSAY
Dissolve 0.650 g in 25 ml of water. Titrate with 1 M sodium hydroxide using 0.5 ml of
phenolphthalein solution as indicator, until a pink colour is obtained.
1 ml of 1 M sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 75.05 mg of C4H6O6.

Tartaric acid; L -(+)-Tartaric acid [CAS Number 526-83-0] and [CAS Number 87-69-4].
Tartaric Acid, dried over phosphorus pentoxide for 3 hours, contains not less than 99.7 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of C4H6O6.

Identification:
A: It responds to the tests for Tartrate.
B: When ignited, it gradually decomposes, emitting an odor resembling that of burning sugar
(distinction from citric acid).
Specific rotation: between +12.0 and +13.0 .
Test solution: 200 mg per mL, in water.
Loss on drying: Dry it over phosphorus pentoxide for 3 hours: it loses not more than 0.5% of its weight.
Residue on ignition: not more than 0.1%.
Limit of oxalate: Nearly neutralize 10 mL of a solution of it (1 in 10) with 6 N ammonium hydroxide, and add 10 mL of calcium sulfate TS: no turbidity is produced.
Sulfate: To 10 mL of a solution (1 in 100) add 3 drops of hydrochloric acid and 1 mL of barium chloride: no turbidity is produced.
Heavy metals: 0.001%.
Assay: Place about 2 g of Tartaric Acid, previously dried and accurately weighed, in a conical flask. Dissolve it in 40 mL of water, add phenolphthalein TS, and titrate with 1 N sodium hydroxide VS. Each mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 75.04 mg of C4H6O6.
