Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative/conservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, the conjugate base of citric acid, citrate, is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and therefore occurs in the metabolism of virtually all living things.
Citric acid is a commodity chemical, and more than a million tonnes are produced every year by fermentation. It is used mainly as an acidifier, as a flavoring, and as a chelating agent.
Tartaric acid is a white crystalline diprotic organic acid. It occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds; is commonly combined with baking soda to function as a leavening agent in recipes, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is added to other foods to give a sour taste, and is used as an antioxidant. Salts of tartaric acid are known as tartrates. It is a dihydroxyl derivative of succinic acid.
Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar, c. 800 by the alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan.[3] The modern process was developed in 1769 by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele.
Tartaric acid played an important role in the discovery of chemical chirality. This property of tartaric acid was first observed in 1832 by Jean Baptiste Biot, who observed its ability to rotate polarized light. Louis Pasteur continued this research in 1847 by investigating the shapes of ammonium sodium tartrate crystals, which he found to be chiral. By manually sorting the differently shaped crystals under magnification, Pasteur was the first to produce a pure sample of levotartaric acid.
Fehling's test uses tartaric acid, and Benedict's test uses citric acid
citric acid
Yes it contains Tartaric Acid
Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes. Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes.
Possible, but it depends on what the acid is used for.

lemon - citric acid apple - mallic acid orange -citric acid grapes - tartaric acid
along with malic acid there is also a weak solution of citric acid The highest portion of acids in white wines are tartaric and malic acids. In red wines it is tartaric and lactic. All contain a small amount of citric acid.
yes as tomato juice,orange juice contain citric acid,tartaric acid
Acetic Acid Citric Acid Acetone Tartaric Acid Hydrochloric Acid
