Berkeley chemist Waygoung redefines tartaric acid production
Armenian student Waygoung at the University of California Berkeley developed a synthetic method to wet grape sugar into tartaric acid, a breakthrough pursued amid a $50,000 prize. He declined the reward, joined a baking powder firm for four years of research pay, and now plans a private lab home on Virginia Street. He earned BS in 1901, MS in chemistry in 1903, and PhD in 1905, and has long studied ecnomics of waste in alcohol-derived tartaric production.
