Carbonyl Acetic Acid for Food Applications

Edible acetic acid (Also as glacial acetic acid) I. Edible acetic acid is classified into two types based on its production process: 1.Acetic acid in alcohol process (Also as Alcoholic acetic acid) . 2.Carbonyl acetic acid.  II. The characteristics and applications of Carbonylation synthesis of acetic acid:  High selectivity and high yield: The conversion rate can reach over 99%, with few by-products and a product purity as high as 99.8%. Compared with the ethanol oxidation method, it is more suitable for large-scale production. Chemical raw materials: Production of vinyl acetate (used in the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, and plastics). Synthetic cellulose acetate (used in films, textiles, and filters). Ii. Uses of Edible Acetic Acid: Edible glacial acetic acid can be used as an acidulant and flavor enhancer, and is often applied in tomato sauce, mayonnaise, rice sugar sauce, pickles, cheese, and sugar products, etc.
