SPhrases =Calcium tartrate is a byproduct of the
wine industry, prepared from wine fermentation dregs. It finds use as afood preservative . Liketartaric acid , calcium tartrate has two asymmetric carbons, hence it has two chiralisomer s and a non-chiral isomer (meso-form). Most calcium tartrate of biological origin is the chiral levorotatory (–) isomer.References
