Explain the mechanism by which cream of tartar acts as an interfering agent
Interfering agents inhibit crystallization by inhibiting nuclei formation; by physically coating the crystals, which prevents their growth; and by decreasing water activity, leaving less water available for the sugar to dissolve. Cream of tarter acts as an interfering agent by forming invert sugar from sucrose, which then gets in the way of sugar molecules.
