Our premium Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) is a high-purity organic compound and a typical fatty acid widely recognized as the essential source of sourness and sharp aroma in professional food production. As a specified acidity regulator listed under the E260 food additive category, it serves as a critical component for manufacturers seeking consistent flavor profiles and stringent quality control in edible vinegar and seasoning production.
Designed for versatile industrial application, this colorless liquid transforms into an icy solid below 16.6°C, ensuring maximum potency and purity. Whether used as a flavor enhancer, sourness agent, or preservative, our glacial acetic acid provides the precise chemical stability required for everything from high-end condiments to canned delicacies and soft drinks, meeting the rigorous standards of the modern food processing industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is a highly concentrated form (≥99.8%) of acetic acid. Regular vinegar is a dilute solution, typically containing 4-8% acetic acid. Glacial acetic acid is used as the raw material to produce edible vinegar through dilution.
Yes, it is widely used in the canning of tomatoes, asparagus, sardines, and squid to act as both a flavoring agent and a preservative by regulating acidity.
It is called "glacial" because it freezes into ice-like crystals at temperatures below 16.6°C, resembling a glacier.
Generally, it is diluted with water to a concentration of 4-5%. Additional seasonings can then be added to achieve a flavor profile similar to brewed vinegar.
Yes, acetic acid is a recognized acidity regulator under the E260 food additive list, making it compliant with global food safety standards when used in specified concentrations.
It is most beneficial for condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup), pickled products, soft drinks, candies, baked goods, and various processed cheeses.
