Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a premium-quality organic compound (CH3COOH), meticulously refined to achieve a purity level of ≥ 99.8%. Recognized as a vital acidity regulator under the E260 food additive standard, this colorless liquid is prized for its sharp, stimulating odor and its unique ability to crystallize into an "icy" solid below 16.6°C, ensuring a high-concentration raw material for professional food manufacturing.
Engineered for versatility, our glacial acetic acid serves as an essential building block for a wide array of culinary applications. From the production of synthetic edible vinegars to acting as a flavor enhancer in condiments like mayonnaise and tomato sauce, it provides consistent sourness and stability. Whether used in canning, confectionery, or beverage production, our product ensures strict adherence to food safety standards and optimal taste profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is the anhydrous (water-free) form of acetic acid with a purity of ≥ 99.8%. It is called "glacial" because it freezes into ice-like crystals below 16.6°C, unlike diluted acetic acid.
To produce edible vinegar, dilute the glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of approximately 4-5% and add necessary seasonings to match the desired flavor profile.
It is widely used in tomato sauces, mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese, canned vegetables (asparagus, tomatoes), seafood (sardines, squid), and various confectionery like candies and gummies.
Yes, when properly diluted, it serves as an excellent acid flavoring agent for soft drinks, cold beverages, and other mixed drink products.
Due to its high concentration and irritating odor, it must be handled with caution. Proper PPE should be worn, and it should always be diluted before use as a food flavoring agent.
As an acidity regulator, it lowers the pH level of the food, which inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria, thereby extending the shelf life and safety of canned goods.
