30% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade

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.

Common Applications

• Food Preservation: Inhibits spoilage in diverse food matrices, extending shelf life while complying with food-grade purity standards.
• pH Adjustment: Modulates acidity in processing streams to ensure consistent texture, stability, and reaction rates.
• Flavoring Agent: enhances acidity profiles in salad dressings, sauces, and marinades.
• Equipment Cleaning: Acts as an effective acidic cleaner for descaling and surface preparation in food service environments.
• Fermentation Aid: Supports controlled fermentation in beverage production and vinegar manufacturing.
• Brine Formulation: Balances salt and acidity ratios in brining operations for optimal moisture retention.
• Industrial Processing: Used in textile and chemical manufacturing where a weak organic acid is required.

Safety Precautions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Use containers made of HDPE or glass. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, to prevent skin and eye contact. Keep containers tightly sealed to minimize vapor release. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
