Product Overview
30% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade is a high-purity, clear, colorless liquid solution formulated for precise culinary and industrial processing applications. Also known as Ethanoic Acid or Vinegar Acid, this 30 wt% solution delivers controlled acidity necessary for accurate pH adjustment, preservation, and flavor profile management in compliant food systems. Completely soluble in water, it integrates seamlessly into marinades, sauces, and brines.
Beyond culinary uses, this Acetic Acid solution serves as a critical agent in manufacturing workflows requiring strict quality control. It supports scaled production in fermentation, surface cleaning, and chemical processing. Manufactured to meet Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) specifications, the product ensures consistent assay values across batches, adhering to strict industrial hygiene and storage standards.
