Tartaric acid is used in baking powder so that the cake doesn't become bitter to taste. When baking powder is heated it produces Na2CO3 I. E, washing powder. This makes the taste bitter. To prevent this we add tartaric acid. Hope it's right..

Answer:

No,

Tartaric acid does not evolve any carbon dioxide during baking ,its role is to react with sodium carbonate (Na2Co3) formed when sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCo3)

Decomposes. If it is not done,Na2Co3 will impart bitter taste to the cake.

I hope that it would be helpful.
