Overview.
We are leading UK suppliers & distributors of food grade acetic acid to industry
Acetic acid (also called ethanoic acid) is unlike a lot of other food additives — it is commonly used in home cooking. It is probably best known for being what gives vinegar its distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. Despite its intense aroma, it is a clear solution.
Some of our clients seek food-grade acetic acid in a powder, crystalline form (also known as glacial). Others require acetic acid in a liquid form. Whatever your requirements, we can help.
Food grade acetic acid’s uses: food preservative and baking agent
This product is a versatile ingredient for food and beverage manufacturers. Food grade acetic acid affords great preservative properties for pickling; it is also frequently found in common household condiments from balsamic vinegar to mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup.
- Condiments: The sharp, distinctive taste of vinegar is down to acetic acid. Any product that contains vinegar also contains acetic acid. Therefore, you’ll find it in balsamic glazes, sauces and dressings.
- Baking: A chemical reaction that occurs when acetic acid meets alkaline ingredients like baking powder creates a gas that can be used to increase the rise and puffiness of baked goods.
