Acetic acid
Acetic acid, found in some food products, is a clear, sour-tasting liquid that often gives a tangy flavour to foods. It is a natural compound produced either from plants like fruits, grains, or even dairy, or it can also be made synthetically in a laboratory.
The process of making acetic acid is quite simple. It involves fermenting sugars or carbohydrates, which are found in various natural sources like fruits, grains, or even milk. The fermentation process converts these sugars into acetic acid, giving it that distinctive sour taste.
Acetic acid is commonly used in food products as an acidity regulator or flavour enhancer. It can be found in items like salad dressings, pickles, sauces, and condiments. Its presence helps control the acidity level of foods, enhances their taste, and contributes to their longer shelf life by acting as a natural preservative.
