Description of Metatartaric
Added to wine prior bottling, or to sparkling wine prior disgorging, E353 (Metatartaric acid) will prevent the risk of tartaric precipitation.

E353 (Metatartaric acid)
E353 (Metatartaric acid) stabilizer is a special powder used for the prevention of tartrate precipitation in bottled wines.
By using stabilization products, the beverages are microbiologically and chemically/physically stabilized and their shelf life is increased.

Uses of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
E353 (Metatartaric acid) is used to prevent precipitation in wine and is listed as E number E353 as a food additive.

Applications of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
E353 (Metatartaric acid) stabilizer should only be added to the pre-filtered wine, ready for bottling, since any filtration will remove part of the largemolecules of the product and thus reduce its efficiency.
After the addition of E353 (Metatartaric acid)stabilizer, only final filtration should be carried out.
When using membrane filter cartridges, theE353 (Metatartaric acid) has to be added to the wine atleast five days before filtration.
Otherwise, a blocking of the membranes during bottling can occur.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) stabilizer must not be added to the wine together with fining agents or other very adsorptive substances, as this would inevitably cause a considerable reduction in efficiency.
Any fining processes have to be carried out before and the wines should be checked for their protein stability.
As the stabilizing effect of E353 (Metatartaric acid) stabilizer decreases with time, the product should only be used for wines stored under the following conditions.

Storage of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
Store the original unopened packs in a dry and odourless room at a temperature between 5 and 25°C.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) in solution will preserve well at + 4°C during a maximum of 15 days.

Usage of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
24 hours prior use, prepare a solution of E353 (Metatartaric acid) at 375 g/L.
Filter the solution before use. Dissolution must be made exclusively in cold water.
Dissolution in hot water would generate the immediate hydrolisis of E353 (Metatartaric acid).
As a result, efficiency would be lost, and could moreover increase the risk of tartaric precipitation.
In solution: Add the necessary quantity of E353 (Metatartaric acid) solution to your wines or finishing liqueur. Thorough blending is essential.

ENOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
Meta tartaric acid is an inhibator of crystillasation of Potassium Bitartrate salts.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) avoids the crystallization of tartar.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) has a very long action, its use preferably before the last step of filtration enables an efficient stabilization of wine.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) prevents the precipitations of tartrates in the wine for more than one year.
Meta tartaric acid does not give any taste or smell to wine.
For the use, E353 (Metatartaric acid) is advised to prepare 24 H before the dosage a solution of E353 (Metatartaric acid) at 375 g/l.
The maximum dose is 10 g/hl (2.6 cl of solution prepared according to the recommendations mentioned above) of wine to be prepared.

Beware, the use on wines too cold or too rich in protein can lead to reversible or irreversible blurriness.
In case of an irreversible blurriness, filtrate the wine before any other treatment.

Use of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
Beware, E353 (Metatartaric acid) is necessary to dissolve meta tartaric acid in cold water.
Warm water leads to an immediate hydrolysis of meta tartaric acid which beyond the fact that it will loose all its efficiency increases the risk of formation of tartrates preceipitations.

E353 (Metatartaric acid)
The effect of E353 (Metatartaric acid) (MTA) in opposing the growth of the submicroscopic nuclei of crystals and in retarding tartaric precipitation in the bottle is well known.
More precisely, the presence of its molecules during the tartrate crystal building prevents the feeding phenomenon.
MTA, also known as ditartaric acid, is a polymerized substance formed from the intermolecular esterification of L-tartaric acid, between an acid function of one molecule and a secondary alcohol function of another molecule.
This esterification reaction is promoted at a temperature of 150-170C under atmospheric pressure or under a reduced pressure in order to obtain an esterification rate higher than the theoretical equilibrium rate (33%).
This reaction is reversible as tartaric acid may be formed again by hydrolysis.
More exactly, MTA is a mixture of polymers with different molecular weight.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) primary constituents are the ditartaric monoester and diester in variable proportions, mixed with variable amounts of non-esterified tartaric acid, pyruvic acid (representing 1 to 6% w/w of MTA) and small quantities of poorly known polyester acids.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) is available in crystalline form or in powder form with white or yellow color.
This additive shows high solubility in water and alcohol being rapidly hydrolyzed in aqueous solution at 100C.
As MTA is highly hygroscopic it should be stored in dry conditions.

Characteristic of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
Food additive E 353 (E353 (Metatartaric acid) or tartaric acid) is intended for use as an acid and acid regulator.
Represents white hygroscopic, water-soluble crystals.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) is obtained by heating natural tartaric acid at a temperature of 180-200 ° C. When the alloy cools, it breaks. Impurities: oligomers and monomers of tartaric acid. The solubility of the substance in water is good, in alcohol - medium, and in fats it does not dissolve.

E353 (Metatartaric acid) is a polydisperse polymer blend.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) consists of a polymerized compound formed by intermolecular esterification between the carboxyl group of one L-tartaric acid unit and the secondary alcohol group of another L-tartaric acid molecule.
The main components of E 353 are monoester and diester dinitrate, L-tartaric acid monomer and polyester chains with different degrees of polymerization.

E353 (Metatartaric acid) is present in sugar cane, is produced from glucose and is a type of sugar acid. It is used as an acidity regulator.
In fruits, the acid can be free or combined with potassium, calcium or magnesium.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) is sometimes deposited as crystals in wine.
Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate (tartar, tartar), and in 1769 Karl Wilhelm Schele isolated it in a modern way.
In partially purified form, tartaric acid from tartar (tartar) has been known since the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Most L-tartaric acid is produced as a by-product of the wine industry.
The precipitates and other fermentation waste products are heated and neutralized with calcium hydroxide and then the precipitated calcium tartrate is treated with sulfuric acid to give free tartaric acid.
E353 (Metatartaric acid) can also be extracted from tamarind pulp.

Use of E353 (Metatartaric acid)
Meta tartaric acid is added in the production of wine, it eliminates or reduces its turbidity.
Tartrate is one of the acids that give the mouth a tart taste when drinking wine.
The other two are malic and citric acid. E 353 is intended for use as a stabilizer and is used to prevent the growth and precipitation of crystals of potassium bitartate and calcium tartrate in wine.
Tartaric acid is approved for use in red and white wines in the European Union, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Uruguay, Russia, South Africa and Turkey.

E353 (Metatartaric acid) is produced by heating L-tartaric acid from naturally occurring sources, such as grapes, at 150-170 ° C at atmospheric or reduced pressure for less than an hour.
This gives a colorless liquid which is cooled, dried and ground to an almost white powder.
Deviations in production temperature, pressure and time allow manufacturers to control the degree of esterification in the final product.
Hydrolysis of E353 (Metatartaric acid) to tartaric acid in solution, the rate depending on both pH and time.
Metataric acid is used to precipitate excess calcium in wine production.
This acid is found in wine, fruit juices and elsewhere.
