Tartrate, specifically potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar), is often used in baking powder as an acid component. It reacts with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to produce carbon dioxide gas when wet, which helps leaven baked goods, making them rise and become light and fluffy. Additionally, tartrate helps stabilize egg whites and improve the texture of certain recipes. Overall, it contributes to the effectiveness and quality of the leavening process in baked products.
