Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity organic compound (CH3COOH), meticulously manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of the global food and beverage industry. Recognized as a critical acidity regulator under the E260 food additive standard, it serves as the essential source of the characteristic sourness and pungent aroma found in high-quality vinegars and processed foods.
Designed for versatility and stability, this colorless liquid transforms into an icy solid below 16.6°C, ensuring premium purity levels of ≥ 99.8%. Whether used as a direct flavor enhancer, a preservative in canning, or as a base for producing synthetic edible vinegar, our glacial acetic acid provides consistent pH control and taste optimization for a wide array of culinary applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is the concentrated, anhydrous form of acetic acid (≥ 99.8% purity), whereas vinegar is a diluted solution typically containing 4-8% acetic acid. Our product is used as the raw material to produce edible vinegar.
To produce a flavor similar to brewed vinegar, dilute the glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5% and add appropriate seasonings as required by your recipe.
It is widely used in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese, canned asparagus, baby food, sardine/squid preserves, and various soft drinks or candies.
It is called "glacial" because it freezes into ice-like crystals at temperatures below 16.6°C, reflecting its high state of purity.
Yes, our food-grade glacial acetic acid is specifically designed for use in sensitive categories including baby food, canned vegetables, and seafood, provided it is diluted according to safety standards.
It functions as an acidity regulator, flavor enhancer, and preservative by lowering the pH level of food, which prevents spoilage and provides the desired tart taste.
