Racemic mixture

Mixture with equal amounts of left- and right-handed chiral isomers

In chemistry, a racemic mixture or racemate is a mixture that has equal amounts (50:50) of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule or salt. Racemic mixtures are rare in nature, but many compounds are produced industrially as racemates.
