Description

General description

Acetic acid is an organic acid mainly used as an acidulating and flavoring agent.[1][2] It is the main constituent of vinegar and pyroligneous acid.[3] In combination with leavening agents, it produces carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate.[1] Acetic acid is used as flavoring agent in ice-creams, nonalcoholic beverages and baked goods.[4]
