Product Overview

50% Diluted Acetic Acid Food Grade is a clear, colorless solution of acetic acid (Ethanoic Acid) formulated specifically for industrial food processing and preservation. This solution concentrates the chemical activity of CH₃COOH while delivering manageable handling properties for manufacturing environments. The product meets strict food-grade standards, providing reliable acidity (pH ~2.4) essential for pH adjustment, flavor modulation, and process stability.

With a tight assay window of 49–51%, this material ensures consistent performance across batches. It is fully miscible with water, allowing for versatile integration into process streams, brines, and cleaning regimens. This grade features strictly controlled contaminant levels, including low heavy metals, to support regulatory compliance in food manufacturing. Also known as Vinegar Acid, it exhibits the characteristic pungent odor associated with acetic acid.

Key Properties

  • Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
  • Chemical Formula: CH₃COOH
  • Molecular Weight: 60.05 g/mol
  • Assay (wt%): 49–51% (typical 50%)
  • Specific Gravity (20°C): 1.02–1.04
  • pH (0.5 w/w 50% solution): ~2.4
  • Heavy Metals (as Pb): max 5 ppm
  • Arsenic (As): max 3 ppm
  • Iron (Fe): max 0.5 ppm
  • Solubility: Fully miscible in water

Common Applications

  • Food Preservation: Inhibits spoilage in dressings, sauces, marinades, and ready-to-eat products through controlled acidity.
  • pH Adjustment: Modulates acidity in food manufacturing for taste optimization, texture control, and process efficiency.
  • Flavoring Agent: Imparts characteristic vinegar notes essential for condiments, dressings, and sauces.
  • Equipment Cleaning: Effective degreasing and cleaning agent for food-service equipment and surfaces.
  • Pickling & Brines: Critical component for flavor profile, texture retention, and stability in brine systems.
  • Fermentation Support: Acts as a nutrient source and acidity modulator in beverage production and fermentation workflows.

Safety Precautions

Acetic Acid is corrosive. Handle with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and splash gear. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed to maintain product integrity. Avoid contact with strong bases and oxidizers.

Emergency Response: In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with abundant water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If inhaled, move to fresh air. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific transport classification and spill response procedures.

Benefits

Strict Food-Grade Compliance – Low heavy metal content and controlled impurities for safe use in processing.
Consistent Acidity – Tight 49-51% specification ensures predictable pH control and flavor profiles.
Versatile Industrial Use – Suitable for diverse applications from pickling to equipment degreasing.
