Beyond its function as an acidulant, tartaric acid is also used as a flavor enhancer in various food products. In fruit-based confections such as candies, chewing gum, and fruit-flavored drinks, tartaric acid intensifies the natural tartness, bringing out the fresh, tangy notes that consumers expect from such products. It also adds a refreshing finish to sugary items, balancing the sweetness and enhancing overall taste. Its role as a flavor booster is vital in many food formulations where a pronounced sour note is desired, particularly in the confectionery industry.
