Acetic acid is used to inhibit mold growth, reduce bacterial formation in feed, adjust pH balance, and enhance feed utilization.

It is used in various industries as a disinfectant, solvent, tanning agent, metal cleaner, bleaching agent, and textile dye. In feed additives, it is employed to reduce bacterial, fungal, and mold growth, as well as to function as an acidifying agent.

It is used for acidifying cola-type carbonated beverages, in the production of cottage cheese, solid fats, and shortenings. Additionally, it serves as a pH regulator in imitation jelly production and as a nutrient component in yeast production. It is also utilized in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers, to limit bacterial growth in certain processed foods, as a clarifying agent for syrup after liming in the sugar industry, and in the production of phosphate salts.

It is used as an acidifying additive in various food products and animal feed.

It is used to inhibit microbial growth in fermented and brined foods. It is particularly common in cheese, and is also used in certain types of olives (e.g., Spanish olives), frozen desserts, and carbonated beverages.

Due to its acidity-regulating properties, it is used in various food products, animal feed, and cosmetic formulations.

It is a preservative effective against molds and yeasts, but has no effect on bacteria. Its highest efficacy is observed in environments with a pH below 6.5.

It is used in detergents and industrial cleaning products, to extend the shelf life of foods, and to add flavor to certain non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, it is utilized in confectionery and pharmaceutical production.

It is used in food and animal feed to prevent mold growth. Additionally, it is employed in coating processes to enhance gloss and as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers and lubricants.

It is used in various foods and animal feeds for pH control and stabilization.
