[News & Trends]:The difference between glacial acetic acid and regular vinegar

Ice vinegar and regular vinegar are both common food vinegar, and they have some differences in production process, ingredients, and edible characteristics. Let's take a closer look below


The production process of glacial acetic acid and ordinary vinegar is different. Ice acetic acid is formed by acidification of ice acetic acid, while ordinary vinegar is produced by fermenting acetic acid bacteria to act on vinegar wine or other vinegar sources. It can be said that glacial acetic acid is an artificially synthesized food vinegar, while ordinary vinegar is a naturally fermented food


The composition of acetic acid is different from that of regular vinegar. Glacial acetic acid is mainly composed of acetic acid and water, with a higher content of acetic acid, exhibiting a more acidic characteristic. Ordinary vinegar contains more acetic acid and water, as well as other organic acids, esters, alcohols, and other components. Therefore, compared to regular vinegar, glacial acetic acid has a more sour taste and a relatively small amount


Thirdly, there are differences in the edible characteristics between glacial acetic acid and regular vinegar. Ice acetic acid is an organic acid food additive that has functions such as acid enhancement, antibacterial, and anti-corrosion. It is commonly used in food processing, seasoning, and other aspects. It can improve the taste of food, increase appetite, and extend the shelf life of food. Ordinary vinegar not only has certain acid increasing and antibacterial effects, but also has functions such as aiding digestion and promoting blood circulation. Therefore, regular vinegar is more suitable as a seasoning and for daily consumption


In summary, there are some differences between glacial acetic acid and ordinary vinegar in terms of production process, ingredients, and edible characteristics. The choice of vinegar to use depends on actual needs and personal taste. Whether it is glacial acetic acid or regular vinegar, we should pay attention to consuming it in moderation when using it to avoid adverse effects on our health caused by excessive intake.
