Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a premium, high-purity chemical compound (CH3COOH) designed specifically for the stringent requirements of the food and beverage industry. As a colorless liquid with a characteristic stimulating odor, it remains stable and high-performing, crystallizing into an "icy" solid below 16.6°C, which marks its exceptional purity and quality as a professional-grade acidity regulator.
Recognized as E260 in the global food additive list, our Glacial Acetic Acid serves as a versatile flavoring agent and preservative. From producing authentic edible vinegar to enhancing the taste profiles of sauces and canned goods, it provides the essential sourness and stability required to maintain food quality and safety across diverse culinary applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is an undiluted, high-purity form (typically ≥ 99.8%) that can freeze into a solid "ice-like" state at 16.6°C, whereas regular acetic acid is usually a diluted aqueous solution.
By diluting our glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5% and adding appropriate seasonings, you can obtain edible vinegar with a flavor profile similar to brewed vinegar.
It is widely used in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese, soft drinks, canned vegetables (asparagus), and various sugary food products.
Yes, our food-grade glacial acetic acid is suitable for baby food and canned goods when used and diluted according to safety and regulatory guidelines.
Since it freezes at 16.6°C, it should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment above this threshold to keep it in liquid form for easy processing.
Absolutely. After proper dilution, it is used as an acid flavoring agent in candies, pudding, gum, and various baked goods to provide a balanced sour taste.
