PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
L-Tartaric acid occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes and tamarinds, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is used as an antioxidant. It also can be used as a co-former for the synthesis of etravirine co-crystals or a mobile phase additive in thin-layer chromatography.
