Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a premium-quality, high-purity organic compound (CH3COOH) specifically refined for the food and beverage industry. Recognized as a critical acidity regulator under the E260 food additive list, this colorless liquid is prized for its distinct stimulating odor and its ability to crystallize into an icy solid below 16.6°C, ensuring the highest standards of stability and purity for professional food manufacturing.
Designed for versatility, our edible acetic acid serves as a superior sourness agent and flavor enhancer across a wide range of applications. From the production of high-quality edible vinegar and compound seasonings to the preservation of canned goods and condiments, it provides a consistent, clean taste profile that mimics brewed vinegar when diluted to concentrations of 4-5%, making it an indispensable ingredient for modern food processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glacial acetic acid is a highly concentrated form of acetic acid (typically ≥ 99.8%). It is called "glacial" because it freezes into ice-like crystals at 16.6°C, whereas standard acetic acid is usually a diluted aqueous solution.
To produce edible vinegar, dilute our glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5%. You can then add various seasonings to achieve a flavor profile similar to traditional brewed vinegar.
It is widely used in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, kimchi, cheese, soft drinks, candies, baked goods, and various canned products like asparagus and sardines.
Yes, in the professional food industry, acetic acid is a specified acidity regulator listed under the E260 additive code.
Due to its melting point of 16.6°C, it should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent it from solidifying, and kept in airtight containers to avoid evaporation and contamination.
Absolutely. When properly diluted, it serves as an excellent acid flavoring agent for soft drinks, cold beverages, and various liquid refreshments.
