E334 Tartaric acid — is it halal?
Description
An acidity regulator; the natural acid of grapes. Two manufacturing routes: extraction from the by-products of wine production — tartar, lees of wine and grape pomace — and synthesis from maleic anhydride with an enzymatic step. The US instrument names only the first in its text, the Chinese only the second, and the EU and JECFA specifications describe neither.
