Our Food Grade Glacial Acetic Acid is a high-purity organic compound (CH3COOH), meticulously manufactured to meet stringent food safety standards. As a typical fatty acid widely present in nature and recognized as the primary source of sourness in vinegar, it serves as a vital acidity regulator (E260) in the global food industry, ensuring consistent taste and quality across various applications.
Designed for versatility, this colorless liquid transforms into an icy solid below 16.6°C, offering exceptional stability and potency. Whether used as a flavor enhancer in condiments or a preservative in canned goods, our glacial acetic acid provides a reliable, professional-grade solution for food manufacturers seeking to optimize their product's acidity and shelf-life.

Glacial Acetic Acid is a highly concentrated form (≥ 99.8% purity) of acetic acid. While regular vinegar is a diluted solution, glacial acetic acid must be properly diluted (typically to 4-5%) before use in food products.
Yes, it is specifically designed for food-grade applications and is commonly used in baby food, canned tomatoes, asparagus, and seafood like sardines and squid to regulate acidity and preserve freshness.
It is called "glacial" because it crystallizes into an ice-like solid when the temperature drops below 16.6°C, resembling a glacier.
In the global food industry, acetic acid is recognized as the specified acidity regulator under the E260 list of food additives.
Absolutely. It is widely used as a sourness agent and flavor enhancer in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, rice sugar sauce, and kimchi to achieve a professional taste profile.
To produce edible vinegar with a flavor similar to brewed vinegar, dilute the glacial acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5% and add the necessary seasonings.
