Acetic Acid is manufactured and rigorously tested in full compliance with the Chinese national food safety standard GB 1886.10-2015. With an exceptional purity of 99.5%, it meets the highest quality requirements for use as a food additive (E260) and in pharmaceutical applications. The term "glacial" signifies its high concentration, causing it to solidify at temperatures below 16.7°C, forming ice-like crystals.
As a fundamental organic acid, its primary function in the food industry is as an acidulant, pH regulator, and preservative. It is the key component responsible for the characteristic pungent aroma and sour taste of vinegar. It is safely and widely used in the production of condiments, pickles, mayonnaise, cheese, and various canned foods to enhance flavor and inhibit microbial growth. Beyond food, this high-purity grade is essential in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent and raw material for synthesizing medicines like aspirin, and in the production of dietary supplements.
The superior quality of this product is verified by the stringent test results. The extremely low evaporation residue (0.001%) and high crystallizing point (16.12°C) are direct indicators of its high purity and minimal impurities. It successfully passes the critical permanganate time test, confirming the absence of easily oxidizable impurities. Furthermore, the tests for free mineral acid and heavy metals are strictly within the safe limits for food consumption, ensuring final product safety.
