E354 (Calcium Tartrate)

EC / List no.: 221-621-5
CAS no.: 3164-34-9
Mol. formula: C4H6O6.Ca

E354 (Calcium Tartrate), exactly calcium L-tartrate, is a byproduct of the wine industry, prepared from wine fermentation dregs.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is the calcium salt of L-tartaric acid, an acid most commonly found in grapes.
Its solubility decreases with lower temperature, which results in the forming of whitish (in red wine often reddish) crystalline clusters as it precipitates.
As E number E354, it finds use as a food preservative and acidity regulator.
Like tartaric acid, E354 (Calcium Tartrate) has two asymmetric carbons, hence it has two chiral isomers and a non-chiral isomer (meso-form).
Most E354 (Calcium Tartrate) of biological origin is the chiral levorotatory (–) isomer.

Obtained from wine lees it is used for the manufacture of tartaric acid.

Tartaric acid is a natural acidifier and preservative (E-334).
In the oenological industry it can be used as regulator of the wine acidity.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is used on an industrial scale, in the preparation of fizzy beverages as sodas.

OENOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is vital in achieving maximum tartaric stabilisation in wines. This salt is able to stabilise in one step both tartaric salts : potassium bitartrate and E354 (Calcium Tartrate).
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) triggers the formation of potassium bitartrate and E354 (Calcium Tartrate) and accelerates the edimentation of endogenous crystals (“vin pierre”).
Selected E354 (Calcium Tartrate) grain size (95 % < 100 µm), E354 (Calcium Tartrate) to cold conditions.
Continuous process is not recommended for stabilisation of both salts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Add the E354 (Calcium Tartrate) at a temperature ranges from -3 to + 4°C.
The wine should be stirred regularly to ensure that the E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is spread evenly throughout.
If the wine has been fined previously, the treatment should be carried out after it has been drawn off.

DOSE RATE
• 100 to 200 g/hL of E354 (Calcium Tartrate) depending on the composition of the wine (have a test carried out in the laboratory).

PACKAGING AND STORAGE
• In 5 kg and 25 kg bags
Keep away from damp conditions, in its hermetically sealed bag.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) will not keep for long once the bag has been opened. Store in a dry place.

The rate of E354 (Calcium Tartrate) precipitation was measured in wine after addition of calcium carbonate. Wine pH has little, if any, effect on the rate of precipitation, only on the final equilibrium concentration.
Low temperatures slow the rate of precipitation but result in greater E354 (Calcium Tartrate) stability.
Addition of E354 (Calcium Tartrate) seed crystals increases the rate of precipitation.
Malic acid inhibits E354 (Calcium Tartrate) precipitation during the period when nucleation controls crystal growth.
Measurement of tartaric acid and calcium during precipitation shows the stoichiometry to be 1:1 during all phases of crystallization.

E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is known under E code E354 and is used in the food industry as a buffer and as a preservative

E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is essential for optimum tartrate stabilisation of wines that contain a high calcium content liable to form precipitates in the bottle.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) causes preferential crystallisation of E354 (Calcium Tartrate), significantly reducing Ca2+ levels in wine.

E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is also known as calcium L-tartrate.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is the calcium salt of L-tartaric acid which is mostly found in ripe grapes.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) decreases its solubility at lower temperature, which in turn forms whitish crystal like clusters in red wines.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) also has property that it can appear to be white powder.
E354 (Calcium Tartrate) is the byproduct/ residue during wine fermentation in the wine industry.
The residue slurry is then purified & dried out to develop the intermediate product for the production of tartaric acid.
Wine contains naturally dissolved salts such as potassium, manganese, iron, copper and calcium, which yields instability in wine.
Young wine stored in the bottle is expected to lead crystal formation, which leads to precipitate formation.
In the presence of E354 (Calcium Tartrate), the stability process of wine is slower.
List of additives permitted for use in the production of wine under EU law states the use of E354 (Calcium Tartrate) as a stabilizer.
However, E354 (Calcium Tartrate) finds its application as a preservative for seafood, vegetables, fruits, in deodorization of fish and acidity regulator.
