ABSTRACT:
Methods of making a calcium fortified, tartaric acid-containing product that is essentially free of tartrate precipitates. The tartaric acid concentration of a precursor is adjusted to form an adjusted precursor. An additive comprising a calcium-based compound is mixed with the adjusted precursor to make the fortified product. The compound may be calcium gluconate, a variety of other compounds or mixtures thereof. The fortified product, when stored at approximately 70° F., may remain essentially free of tartrate precipitate for at least sixteen weeks.The fortified, tartaric acid-containing products processed by the disclosed methods.
