General description
Tartaric acid is a polyhydroxy acid with wide applications in the textile, pharma, and food industries. It is commonly used as a food additive and acts as an antioxidant and acidification agent. It is also used as a starting material for the preparation of many bioactive molecules.
Application
D-(-)-Tartaric acid may be used in the preparation of enantiospecific homochiral cis-4-formyl β-lactams. It may also be used as a starting material in the synthesis of D-erythro-sphingosine and L-lyxo-phytosphingosine.

In this study, the population structure, incidence, and potential sources of human infection caused by the d-tartrate-fermenting variant of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi B [S. Paratyphi B (dT+)] was investigated. In Germany, the serovar is frequently isolated from broilers. Therefore
