Product Application of Potassium tartrateCAS#921-53-9
Potassium tartrate is the acid potassium salt of tartaric acid occurring as crystals or powder. It is relatively poorly soluble having a solubility in 100 ml of water at 0.8 g at 25°c and 6.1 g at 100°c. A 1% solution at 30°c has a ph of 3.4. Chemical names are potassium acid tartrate, potassium hydrogen tartrate, and potassium bitartrate. It functions to complex with heavy metal ions and to regulate ph; it can have a gentle laxative action if given at adequate levels. The acidulant is used in chemical leavening to release carbon dioxide which produces the loaf volume. It has limited reactivity in the cold so when used in reduced-temperature batters it has little gas evolution during the initial mixing. At room temperatures, it has a relatively fast reaction rate. It functions as a taste regulator in sugar icing and in controlled crystallization of toffees and fondants by the regulated inversion of sucrose. It is used in baked goods, crackers, candy, and puddings.
