Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid (CH3COOH) is a high-purity organic compound and a typical fatty acid widely utilized in the food industry. Recognized as the primary source of sourness and characteristic irritating odors in vinegar, it serves as a critical acidity regulator listed under the E260 food additive category, ensuring consistency and quality in various culinary applications.
This premium-grade acetic acid is highly versatile, functioning as a flavor enhancer, sourness agent, and base for edible vinegar production. By precisely diluting it to a 4-5% concentration, manufacturers can achieve a taste profile similar to traditional brewed vinegar, making it an essential ingredient for high-demand food products globally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is an undiluted, high-purity form (≥ 99.8%) that can freeze into ice-like crystals below 16.6℃, whereas standard acetic acid is typically diluted with water.
Dilute the acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5% and add specific seasonings to achieve a flavor profile similar to brewed vinegar.
It is widely used in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese, canned seafood (sardines, squid), baby food, and various soft drinks.
Yes, when properly diluted, it is an excellent acid flavoring agent for candies, pudding, gum, and other baked products.
Due to its high purity, it has a melting point of 16.6℃. Below this temperature, it forms an icy solid, which is the characteristic that gives it the name "glacial."
It primarily serves as an acidity regulator (E260), a preservative to extend shelf life, and a flavor enhancer to provide sourness.
