Applications: MOLACID® TAR is an organic acid used in pharmaceutical formulations as an excipient, acidulant, buffering agent and pH adjuster. It is widely used in effervescent tablets, powders, granules, oral solutions, syrups and conventional tablets. It also reacts with carbonates or bicarbonates to produce carbon dioxide and effervescence and can be used to form tartrate salts. It helps maintain the desired pH and stability of pharmaceutical formulations through tartrate buffer systems. In oral formulations, it can modify taste and improve the palatability of certain medicinal products.
