Potassium sodium tartrate formula. Potassium sodium tartrate

    Tannin E 181 is used as food coloring, for adding color, as well as in the manufacture of all kinds of drinks. The colorant has a strong astringent taste. Used for coloring various baked goods and sweets. The solutions of colloids that are formed in water express strong tanning action and have an acidic reaction. Green tea contains a large amount of tannin.
    Tannin E 181 is used for tanning leather and fur, for etching cotton fibers, for making ink.

    In addition, E 181 is widely used in medicine to treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids, inflammatory diseases, and to stop bleeding. You can strengthen your blood vessels by consuming green tea regularly. It is also used as an antidote for poisoning with mercury, lead or other poisonous substances.


    At the same time, the property of Tannin is used to slow down the assimilation of various substances in the body. From this property, harm follows from its excessive use - diseases associated with a lack of any minerals (for example, iron) in the body can occur. In addition, in sensitive people, this substance can disrupt the functioning of the liver and kidneys, and irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

Application

Tannins have acidic properties which are due to phenolic groups in their molecules. Therefore, they interact with proteins, as well as with metals, precipitating them. Due to this, tannins are used to stabilize wines and beer and for processing (pasting) wine materials, mainly white table wines, usually in combination with gelatin pasting. In accordance with the Instruction for the processing of wine materials with gelatin, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation on 05.05.98, it is recommended to use 0.5-0.75 parts of tannin from the dose of gelatin used for pasting, that is, 0.05-1.875 g / dal.

Tannins are used in the form of a 20% solution, which is prepared on the day of processing by dissolving the required amount of tannin in the processed wine material. With complex pasting, tannin is introduced into the wine material a day before processing with gelatin. Tannins can be added to beer at different stages of production in an amount from 0.2 to 0.7 g / l, depending on the type of beer and the technology used. In case of an overdose, instead of an increase in persistence, the opacity of the beer increases; moreover, it tends to taste empty.

Tannins are included in the list of raw materials in GOST 28616-90 “Fruit wines. General technical conditions ", GOST 28685-90" Sparkling wines. General technical conditions ".

Other areas of application: for tanning leather, as a mordant for dyeing cotton fabrics, an astringent drug.

TARTRAZINE E102

    TARTRAZINE E102 is a food additive with a yellow dye. It is produced artificially, since it is not found anywhere in nature in its pure form. In production, the waste of the coal industry is used as raw material - coal tar.

    Effect on the human body:
    Tartrazine is known as one of the most harmful colorants to human health.... This explains the fact that the food additive E102 is banned in most countries. However, the food and pharmaceutical industries in Russia and Ukraine allow its use.

    Revealed that tartrazine causes an allergic reaction in the form of urticaria. However, studies in America in 1986 showed that rashes and other adverse reactions to a food additive do not occur more often than once in 10,000 cases.

    There is evidence that the use of E102 causes a decrease in concentration and excessive activity in children. It is known that, together with sodium benzoate, tartrazine can cause Merkelsson-Rosenthal syndrome, accompanied by the formation of cracks in the tongue, Quincke's edema and damage to the facial nerves.

SODIUM THIOSULPHATE E 539

    Previously food emulsifier E 539 Sodium thiosulfate used in the food industry as an antioxidant and complexing agent, for example, to be added to iodized salt and flour. But in 2010. in Russia it was banned... Also, this additive is not licensed in the EU.

    In the food industry, sodium thiosulfate is mainly used as an antioxidant for iodized salt and an improver for flour and bread. As a flour improver, food additive E 539 can act as an independent component or be used in combination with a number of other similar improvers. Sodium thiosulfate is included in iodized salt in a proportion of not more than 250 mg per 1 kg of salt. In the baking process, its mass fraction does not exceed 0.002 percent of the total mass of flour or up to 50 mg per 1 kg of product. In addition to the food industry, the E 539 additive is widely used in medicine.

    It is part of complex bakery improvers, and is also used as an individual bakery improver with a reducing effect. Improvers with a reducing effect are recommended to change the rheological properties of wheat flour dough with excessively strong or short-growing gluten. At the same time, the volumetric yield of bread increases, the crumb becomes more elastic, friable, cracks and explosions are smoothed out on the surface of the products.

    When used individually, sodium thiosulfate is introduced together with baker's yeast in an amount of 0.001-0.002% of the flour mass, depending on the method of baking bread (hearth or mold). To ensure an accurate dosage of the improver, prepare its water solution in a ratio of 1:20. The solution can be stored for no more than a day in a closed vessel made of material that does not lend itself to corrosion.

    Sodium thiosulfate is also used to stabilize iodine in the production of iodized salt in amounts up to 250 mg / kg.

    Other areas of application: in pharmaceuticals as an anti-inflammatory agent, an antidote for poisoning with compounds of arsenic, mercury, etc .; in textile

Physical properties and application in technology

In addition, sodium potassium tartrate tetrahydrate is one of the first substances in which piezoelectric properties were discovered (Pierre and Jacques Curie,). Later, these properties found application in technology: first, in the interwar period in the United States (a patent of the company BRUSH No. 2483647), and then in other countries (in the USSR in - years.) Rochelle salt began to be used in pickups for electrophones, microphones, telephone receivers and other similar devices (for example, in hearing aids). This substance is especially widely used during the increased demand for electrical engineering in the post-war years. Compared to other converters, the output voltage of the Rochelle salt is very high (even three thousand times more). However, transducers made from it cannot be stored in a humid place, since the salt gradually spreads due to its hygroscopicity.

Chemical properties and applications

Sodium potassium tartrate is a component of Fehling's liquid, in which it is used to detect sugars. Also Rochelle salt is used in silvering mirrors according to the Henrikhson method. In addition, this salt is used in organic synthesis as a demulsifier in aqueous solutions, usually in reactions using aluminum hydride. Finally, the solution for the determination of proteins by the biuret method also contains potassium sodium tartrate.

Use for other purposes

Potassium sodium tartrate is used in the food industry as an additive E337(antioxidant). It has a salty, cooling taste. This salt is also used in baking powders. The substance has found application in medicine - as a laxative (allegedly the pharmacist Seignet used this salt to help with stomach disorders). For this purpose, Rochelle salt is now often used in the composition of Seidlitz powder.

Notes (edit)

Excerpt from Segnet's Salt

- Call, call. A pitiful boy, ”Denisov repeated.
Petya was standing at the door when Denisov said this. Petya climbed between the officers and came close to Denisov.
“Let me kiss you, my dear,” he said. - Oh, how great! how good! - And, having kissed Denisov, he ran into the yard.
- Bosse! Vincent! - Petya shouted, stopping at the door.
- Whom do you want, sir? Said a voice from the darkness. Petya replied that the boy was a Frenchman whom they had taken today.
- A! Spring? - said the Cossack.
His name Vincent has already been changed: the Cossacks - into Spring, and the men and soldiers - into Visenya. In both versions, this reminder of spring matched the idea of ​​a young boy.
- He warmed himself there by the fire. Hey, Visenya! Visenya! Spring! - were heard in the darkness transmitted voices and laughter.
- And the boy is smart, - said the hussar, who was standing next to Petya. - We fed him just now. Passion was hungry!
In the darkness, footsteps were heard and, plopping his bare feet in the mud, the drummer approached the door.
“Ah, c" est vous! "Said Petya." Voulez vous manger? N "ayez pas peur, on ne vous fera pas de mal," he added, timidly and affectionately touching his hand. - Entrez, entrez. [Oh, it's you! Do you want to eat? Do not be afraid, they will not do anything to you. Come in, come in.]
- Merci, monsieur, [Thank you, sir.] - the drummer answered in a trembling, almost childish voice and began to wipe his dirty feet on the threshold. Petya wanted to say a lot to the drummer, but he did not dare. He, shifting, stood beside him in the entryway. Then in the dark he took his hand and shook it.
“Entrez, entrez,” he repeated only in a gentle whisper.
"Oh, what could I do to him!" - Petya said to himself and, opening the door, let the boy pass by him.
When the drummer entered the hut, Petya sat away from him, considering it humiliating for himself to pay attention to him. He only felt the money in his pocket and was in doubt whether he would not be ashamed to give it to the drummer.

From the drummer, who, on Denisov's orders, was given vodka, mutton and whom Denisov ordered to dress in a Russian caftan, so that, without sending him out with the prisoners, he would be left with the party, Petya's attention was diverted by the arrival of Dolokhov. Petya in the army heard many stories about Dolokhov's extraordinary courage and cruelty with the French, and therefore since Dolokhov entered the hut, Petya, without taking his eyes off, looked at him and was more and more encouraged, twitching his raised head so as not to be unworthy even of such a society as Dolokhov.
Dolokhov's appearance strangely struck Petya with its simplicity.
Denisov dressed in chekmen, wore a beard and on his chest the image of Nicholas the Wonderworker, and in his manner of speaking, in all his receptions, showed the peculiarity of his position. Dolokhov, on the contrary, before, in Moscow, who wore a Persian suit, now had the appearance of the most prim guards officer. His face was clean-shaven, he was dressed in a guards' quilted coat with Georgy in his buttonhole and in a simple cap, which he was wearing straight. He took off his wet cloak in the corner and, going up to Denisov, without greeting anyone, immediately began to inquire about the case. Denisov told him about the plans that large detachments had for their transport, and about sending Petya, and about how he responded to both generals. Then Denisov told everything he knew about the position of the French detachment.
“This is so, but you need to know what and how many troops,” said Dolokhov, “you will have to go. Without knowing exactly how many of them there are, you can't get into business. I like to do things neatly. Now, if any of the gentlemen would like to go with me to their camp. I have my uniforms with me.
- I, I… I will go with you! - Petya cried out.
“You don’t need to go at all,” said Denisov, turning to Dolokhov, “and I’ll never let him in.”
- That's great! - Petya cried out, - why shouldn't I go? ..
- Yes, because there is no need.
“Well, excuse me, because… because… I'm going, that's all. Will you take me? - he turned to Dolokhov.
- Why ... - Dolokhov answered absentmindedly, peering into the face of the French drummer.
- How long have you had this young fellow? - he asked Denisov.
- Today they have taken it, but they know nothing. I left him pg "and myself.
- Well, what are you doing with the rest? - said Dolokhov.
- How where? Denisov cried out, suddenly blushing, and I will boldly say that there is not a single person on my conscience. than the magician "aat, I pg" yamo say, the honor of a soldier.
- Here's a young count at sixteen years old to say these courtesies, - said Dolokhov with a cold grin, - but it's time for you to leave that.
“Well, I’m not saying anything, I’m just saying that I will certainly go with you,” Petya said timidly.
“And it's time for you and me, brother, to give up these pleasantries,” Dolokhov continued, as if he found particular pleasure in talking about this subject, which annoyed Denisov. - Well, why did you take this to yourself? He said, shaking his head. - Then why do you feel sorry for him? After all, we know these your receipts. You send a hundred of them, and thirty will come. They will die of hunger or beaten. So is it all the same not to take them?
Esaul, screwing up his bright eyes, nodded his head approvingly.
- It's all g "avno, there is nothing to argue here. I don’t want to take on my soul. If only not from me.
Dolokhov laughed.
- Who didn't tell them to catch me twenty times? But they will catch me and you, with your chivalry, all the same on the aspen. He paused. - However, we must do the job. Send my Cossack with a pack! I have two French uniforms. Well, are we going with me? - he asked Petya.
- I AM? Yes, yes, certainly, ”Petya cried, blushing almost to tears, glancing at Denisov.
Again, while Dolokhov was arguing with Denisov about what to do with the prisoners, Petya felt awkward and haste; but again he did not have time to understand well what they were talking about. “If big, famous people think so, then it must be so, so it’s good,” he thought. - And most importantly, Denisov must not dare to think that I will obey him, that he can command me. I will certainly go with Dolokhov to the French camp. He can, and I can. "
To all Denisov's convictions not to travel, Petya replied that he, too, was used to doing everything neatly, and not at random by Lazar, and that he never thought about danger to himself.
- Because, - you must agree yourself, - if you don't know exactly how many there are, life depends on it, maybe hundreds, and here we are alone, and then I really want this, and I will certainly, I will definitely go, you will not hold me back. , - he said, - it will only get worse ...

Dressed in French greatcoats and shako, Petya and Dolokhov drove to the clearing from which Denisov was looking at the camp, and, leaving the forest in perfect darkness, went down into the hollow. Having driven down, Dolokhov ordered the Cossacks accompanying him to wait here and rode at a large trot along the road to the bridge. Petya, freezing with excitement, rode beside him.
“If we get caught, I won’t give myself up alive, I have a gun,” Petya whispered.
“Don't speak Russian,” Dolokhov said in a quick whisper, and at that very moment in the darkness a call was heard: “Qui vive?” [Who is coming?] And the clink of the gun.

Potassium-sodium tartrate physical and chemical properties

Colorless transparent crystals, in the mass - white, have a salty, cooling taste on the tongue. Let's dissolve in water (1 g in 1 ml); insoluble in ethanol, oils, fats.

Potassium Sodium Tartrate Natural Source

In many types of vegetables and fruits in the form of tartaric acid.

Obtaining potassium sodium tartrate

The interaction of L-tartaric acid with caustic soda and caustic potassium or sodium and potassium carbonates. Impurities: malates, other tartrates, oxalates. According to the tartaric acid content.

Daily intake of sodium potassium tartrate

Chipboard 30 mg / kg body weight per day in terms of L (+) - tartaric acid. There are no dangers for GN-98.

Reference in standards and application in the food industry E-337

E-337 approved as a regulator of acidity of the following food products: soups, broths in an amount of up to 250 mg / kg of the finished product; jams, preserves, jellies, citrus marmalades up to 3 g / kg individually or in combination with TARTARIC ACID, FUMARIC ACID and its salts to maintain a pH between 2.8 and 3.5; margarines GMP. In the Russian Federation, canned fruits and vegetables are allowed in quantities according to TI (clause 3.1.18 SanPiN 2.3.2.1293-03); in wines, drinks, food concentrates and other products, in bakery and flour confectionery products in an amount according to TI individually or in combination with tartaric acid and tartrates (p. 3.2.3,3.6.52 SanPiN 2.3.2.1293-03). Tartrates form stable complexes with iron and heavy metals and thus act as antioxidant synergists. They are sometimes used as melting salts in the production of processed cheese. The slow release of potassium and calcium from their salts regulates the rate of gelling of carrageenan, alginate and pectin gels. Sodium potassium tartrate can be used as a salt substitute.

Other uses of sodium potassium tartrate:

E-337 used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, as well as for silvering mirrors, as a mouthwash, laxative

Segnet's salt "chda" (potassium-sodium tartrate, tartrate, potassium-sodium tartrate) is a tetrahydrate of sodium-potassium double salt of tartaric acid in the form of colorless or white hygroscopic crystals of the rhombic system. We offer to buy this product in our company.

The material is obtained industrially by the interaction of tartaric acid with sodium and potassium carbonate salts. When manufacturing in this way, it becomes possible to increase the size of the crystals, if necessary. In laboratory practice, the reagent is synthesized by precipitation from a heated solution of acidic potassium tartrate in fine-crystalline form by adding stoichiometric amounts of sodium carbonate.
