Editing Racemic mixture (section)

==Etymology==
The word ''racemic'' derives from Latin {{lang|la|racemus}}, meaning pertaining to a [[bunch of grapes]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Racemic |url=https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=racemic |website=Online Etymology Dictionary}}</ref> [[Racemic acid]], when naturally produced in grapes, is only the right-handed version of the molecule, better known as [[tartaric acid]]. In many Germanic languages racemic acid is called "grape acid", e.g. German {{lang|de|Traubensäure}} and Swedish {{lang|sv|druvsyra}}. [[Carl Linnaeus|Carl von Linné]] gave [[red elderberry]] the scientific name ''Sambucus racemosa'' as the Swedish name, {{lang|sv|druvfläder}}, means 'grape elder', so called because its berries grow in a grape-like cluster.
