Acetic Acid 60%
Acetic acid (systematically named ethanoic acid) is a colorless, liquid, corrosive and typical-smelling carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C₂H₄O₂ (half structural formula CH₃COOH ). As a food additive it is known as E 260. In an aqueous solution, acetic acid is commonly known as “vinegar”, pure acetic acid is known as “glacial acetic acid”. The submerged process is the most common production form for biogenic acetic acid.
