Further information
Tartaric acid DL, synthetic does not mean, by the way, that the tartaric acid is not of natural origin. Although it may be maleic anhydrite, a coal tar derivative. Nowadays, however, synthetic tartaric acid is becoming less common due to its limited range of uses and is gradually being replaced in formulations.
