General description

Acetic acid is an organic acid mainly used as a preservative, acidulating agent and flavoring agent. It is one of the main volatile constituents of vinegar and pyroligneous acid. In combination with leavening agents, it produces carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate. Acetic acid is used as flavoring agent in ice-creams, nonalcoholic beverages and baked goods.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application


  • Investigation of Potential Gut Health Biomarkers in Broiler Chicks Challenged by Campylobacter jejuni and Submitted to a Continuous Water Disinfection Program.: This study explores the effects of acetic acid-based disinfection programs on gut health biomarkers in broiler chicks, aiming to improve their resistance to Campylobacter jejuni infection (Mantzios et al., 2024).

  • Distribution Characteristics of Low-Molecular-Weight Organic Acids in Reclaimed Soil Filled with Fly Ash: A Study.: This research investigates the presence and distribution of acetic acid and other low-molecular-weight organic acids in reclaimed soils, focusing on their environmental impact and potential uses in soil remediation (Zheng et al., 2024).

  • Antibiotic Cocktail Effects on Intestinal Microbial Community, Barrier Function, and Immune Function in Early Broiler Chickens.: This research evaluates the influence of acetic acid and other antibiotics on the intestinal health and immune function of broiler chickens, emphasizing its benefits in early poultry development (Abbas et al., 2024).
