Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity organic compound (CH3COOH) specifically engineered for the food and beverage industry. Recognized as a vital acidity regulator (E260), this colorless liquid is distinguished by its stimulating odor and its unique ability to crystallize into an icy solid below 16.6°C, ensuring a stable and potent source of sourness for various food applications.
Designed for versatility, it serves as a critical ingredient in the production of edible vinegar, compound seasonings, and flavor enhancers. By providing precise control over acidity, it enhances the taste profile and extends the shelf life of a wide array of products, from gourmet sauces and pickled vegetables to soft drinks and confectionery, meeting the strictest safety and quality standards of the global food manufacturing sector.

Food grade acetic acid undergoes more rigorous purification to ensure it is free from toxic contaminants and meets the safety standards for human consumption, specifically listed as E260.
To obtain a flavor similar to brewed vinegar, dilute the glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5% and blend with preferred seasonings.
Due to its high purity, acetic acid freezes at 16.6°C. This "icy" crystallization is why it is termed "Glacial" Acetic Acid and is a sign of high concentration.
Yes, once properly diluted, it is commonly used in canned tomatoes, baby food, sardines, and squid as both a flavoring agent and a preservative.
It is primarily used as an acidity regulator, sourness agent, flavor enhancer, and preservative in sauces, pickles, candies, and beverages.
Yes, it can be used as a food flavoring in baked goods, puddings, and gum sugars, provided it is diluted to the appropriate concentration.
