Acetic Acid Food Grade
Acetic acid food grade is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent vinegar-like odor. It is a weak organic acid commonly used in the food industry as a preservative, flavoring agent, and acidity regulator. With the chemical formula CH₃COOH, food-grade acetic acid is typically found in concentrations of 4–6% in vinegar, though it can be produced at higher concentrations (up to 99%) and then diluted for food use. It is safe for consumption when used as directed and is classified as E260 under food additive codes.
