Food grade glacial acetic acid is one of the important organic acids, commonly used in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, drunken rice sauce, pickles, cheese, confectionary products, etc. When properly diluted, it can also be used to make canned tomatoes, asparagus, baby food, sardines, squid, etc., as well as pickled cucumbers, broth, cold drinks, and sour cheese. When used in food flavors, it needs to be diluted to make soft drinks, cold drinks, candy, baked goods, puddings, gummies, condiments, etc. As a sour agent, it can be used to adjust beverages, canned food, etc.

Glacial acetic acid is divided into industrial grade and food grade according to its purpose. Food grade glacial acetic acid can be used as sour agent and flavor enhancer, and can be used to produce synthetic edible vinegar. Edible vinegar is obtained by diluting acetic acid with water to a concentration of 4-5%, adding various flavoring agents, and its flavor is similar to that of brewed vinegar. Industrial grade is mainly used for vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, acetate and metal acetate, etc. It is also used as a solvent and raw material for pesticides, pharmaceuticals and dyes and other industries. Has a wide range of uses.

Food grade glacial acetic acid is an organic monobasic acid that is the main ingredient in vinegar. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic and corrosive, and the steam is irritating to the eyes and nose. Can be used as acidity regulator, acidifier, pickling agent, flavor enhancer, spice, etc. It is also a good antimicrobial agent, mainly due to its ability to lower the pH below that required for the proper growth of microorganisms. Glacial acetic acid is one of the important organic chemical raw materials. It occupies an important position in the organic chemical industry and is widely used in synthetic fibers, coatings, medicines, pesticides, food additives, dyeing and weaving and other industries.
