TARTARISATION Meaning and
Definition
-
Tartarisation refers to the process of becoming or making something tartaric. Specifically, it is the conversion of a substance into its salt or ester form with tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many fruits, particularly grapes, and is often used as a food additive or flavoring agent.
In chemistry, tartarisation involves reacting a compound with tartaric acid to form a salt or ester. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, such as mixing the compound with tartaric acid and an appropriate base to neutralize and form a salt, or by reacting the compound with tartaric acid and an alcohol to form an ester.
In culinary terms, tartarisation can refer to the incorporation of tartaric acid or tartaric acid-containing substances into a recipe or dish. This is done to enhance the tartness, acidity, or flavor profile of the food. Tartaric acid is commonly used in baking, winemaking, and confectionery to impart a tangy or sour taste.
Overall, tartarisation can involve the chemical process of converting a compound into its tartaric acid salt or ester, as well as the culinary practice of incorporating tartaric acid or tartaric acid-containing substances into food for flavor enhancement.

Etymology of TARTARISATION
The word "tartarisation" is derived from the term "tartar" and the suffix "-isation" (or "-ization" in American English).
"Tartar" refers to a hard, often yellowish deposit that forms on the teeth when plaque hardens. It is primarily composed of minerals, such as calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. The term "tartar" itself has a complex etymology. It originates from the Latin word "tartarus", which was used to describe a subterranean abyss in Greek mythology. This Latin term was borrowed from the Greek word "Tartaros", referring to the underworld. The Greek term may have origins in an Eastern language, perhaps Persian or Aramaic, but precise roots are unclear.
The suffix "-isation" (or "-ization") is taken from the Latin word "-izāre", which denotes the act or process of making something.
