Tartaric Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- E334
- 2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic Acid
- Dihydroxysuccinic Acid
- Asid Tartarik
Tartaric acid supplier for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and technical buyers in Malaysia. Also known as E334, 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid and asid tartarik, this white crystalline organic acid is selected for sharp acidity, pH control and chelation in formulated products.
Commercial interest covers food grade E334 powder, L(+)-tartaric acid, the natural single enantiomer, and DL-tartaric acid where the racemic form is specified. Technical grades serve industrial chelation and metal-cleaning work where food additive status is not required. Buyers should state the isomer, mesh and specification when enquiring.
Food and beverage processors use tartaric acid as an acidulant and acidity regulator in drinks, confectionery, jams, bakery mixes and formulated leavening systems. Pharmaceutical formulators may use suitable grades as acidulants or pH-adjusting excipients, while technical buyers select it for chelation and selected cleaning formulations.
Send the required grade or isomer, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Tartaric Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade tartaric acid (E334) | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Food and beverage acidulant, acidity regulator and acid component in confectionery, bakery and formulated leavening systems where food-grade material is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| L(+)-tartaric acid | white crystalline powder | — | Natural single-enantiomer grade commonly specified for food, flavour and pharmaceutical work when the L(+) isomer is required on the specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| DL-tartaric acid | white crystalline powder | — | Racemic tartaric acid for applications that specify the DL form rather than the L(+) enantiomer. State the required isomer with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade tartaric acid | white crystalline powder | — | Technical chelation, metal-cleaning and other industrial formulations where food additive status is not required. State assay and impurity limits with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about tartaric acid
What is the difference between L(+)-tartaric acid and DL-tartaric acid?
L(+)-tartaric acid is the single natural enantiomer most often specified for food, flavour and pharmaceutical work. DL-tartaric acid is the racemic mixture used when that form is written into the specification. State which isomer is required so the quotation can match the grade rather than assuming the forms are interchangeable.
Is food grade tartaric acid the same as E334?
Yes. E334 is the food additive code for tartaric acid when the material is supplied for food use. Technical or industrial grades remain tartaric acid chemically but should not be assumed to meet a food-grade requirement unless that is confirmed in the quotation.
Is tartaric acid suitable for beverages, confectionery and bakery mixes?
Food-grade tartaric acid is widely used as an acidulant and acidity regulator in beverages, confectionery and bakery systems, including some formulated leavening blends. Suitability depends on the recipe, processing method and required specification, so describe the application when enquiring.
What specifications should a buyer provide for tartaric acid?
State the grade or isomer, intended application and any limits for assay, moisture, heavy metals, optical rotation, particle size and documentation. If a formulation is already in production, include the current specification so the requested grade can be matched more closely.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a tartaric acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade or isomer, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any safety, specification or batch documents required so the quotation can cover commercial and technical needs together.
