Use of Glacial Acetic Acid and Ethanol in Chemical Reactions for Various Applications

One of the main reasons why we add glacial acetic acid is for its disinfectant properties. Glacial acetic acid has a strong antibacterial effect and can effectively kill a variety of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes it an ideal choice for disinfection in food processing, medical treatment, and other fields where hygiene is crucial. By adding glacial acetic acid, we can effectively reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and ensure the safety and health of people.

Pharmaceutical Applications

To understand why it's called glacial, one must delve into the properties of acetic acid and the process by which it is concentrated. Acetic acid, CH3COOH, is an organic compound and a weak acid. In its most common form, it’s diluted with water to make vinegar, containing about 5 to 10 percent acetic acid. However, when acetic acid is dehydrated or purified to remove water content, it can reach concentrations of up to 99.9%, making it resemble a clear, frozen substance. This ultra-pure version is what we know as glacial acetic acid.

Yksi etikkahapon tärkeimmistä käyttötarkoituksista on tavaroiden säilöntä. Se on keskeinen ainesosa monissa mausteissa ja säilykkeissä, sillä se estää bakteerien kasvua ja pidentää elintarvikkeiden säilyvyyttä. Lisäksi etikkahappoa käytetään laajalti elintarviketeollisuudessa, jossa se lisää makua ja antaa ruuille happamuutta. Esimerkiksi sushi-riisissä käytetään usein etikkahappoa sen erityisen maun vuoksi.
