First isolated from potassium tartrate, known as the tartar among ancient, c. 800 by alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan
Modern process of extraction is developed in 1769 by a Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele
Tartaric acid played an important role in chemical chirality discovery
Its property is first observed in 1832 by Jean Baptiste Biot, who noticed that it is able to rotate polarized light
Further, Louis Pasteur continued this research in 1847 by investigating the shapes of ammonium sodium tartrate crystals, which was asymmetric
By sorting different "handed" crystals under magnification manually, Pasteur was the first to produce a pure sample of levotartaric acid
