उत्तर

Tartaric acid

Explanation:

The sour, tangy taste of tamarind is primarily due to tartaric acid. It is a naturally occurring organic acid that acts as a powerful antioxidant and is found in high concentrations in the fruit pulp (ranging from 8% to 18%). While tamarind contains trace amounts of other acids, such as malic and citric acids, tartaric acid remains the chief constituent.
