Acetic Acid Powder

High-Purity Acetic Acid Powder | Food Grade & Industrial Applications | Stable Dry Formulation

Shaanxi Hongda Phytochemistry is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Acetic Acid Powder, delivering advanced dry formulation solutions to global food, pharmaceutical, and industrial markets. We have engaged in manufacturing for more than 20 years since 2001. Our factory covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with 100,000 purification workshops and SGS standardised labs to guarantee that each batch satisfies the international standards. Our product solves major industry problems such as liquid handling issues, transport safety issues and precision dosage needs. It allows you to have a stable, free-flowing powder that is consistently acidic and simplifies your formulation processes while reducing your logistics costs and storage risks.

Product Introduction

This product is a breakthrough in the administration of acetic acid, using innovative spray-drying and microencapsulation technology to convert the typical liquid acidulant to a handy, stable powder form. This novel formulation retains the traditional harsh, pungent flavour characteristics of vinegar without the handling dangers of liquid acids. The powder has good capabilities for re-dissolving in aqueous solutions and is thus well suited for use in seasoning blends, beverage formulations and controlled release applications where careful pH control is needed.

Third Party Test Report

Purity verification: Independent SGS tested our product and confirmed 25-50% acetic acid concentration based on carrier requirements with 100% identification by titration techniques and organoleptic assessment matching reference standards.

Safety Profile: Eurofins testing indicates that the product complies with FDA food-grade standards, with heavy metals (Pb <0.5ppm, As <0.2ppm, Hg <0.1ppm) and microbiological load (Total Plate Count <1000 cfu/g, Yeast/Mold <100 cfu/g) much below action levels.

Stability Testing Accelerated stability testing at 40°C/75% RH for six months indicated less than 5% degradation of acetic acid content when kept in moisture-barrier Packaging, demonstrating better shelf stability than liquid formulations.

Acetic Acid Powder Advantages

The powder form of the product also enhances worker safety, as it avoids the possibility of splashing and decreases the demand for protective gear in production processes, while preserving complete acidifying performance, unlike caustic liquid acetic acid.

Logistics Efficiency: Powder classification eliminates shipping limitations for hazardous materials on concentrated liquid acids, considerably decreasing freight costs and permitting normal ground delivery, without any additional permissions or packaging requirements.

Formulation Precision: The free flowing powder properties allow for precise gravimetric dosing and even distribution in dry blends, thereby avoiding the hot spots and irregularities sometimes associated with the addition of liquid acids into powder matrices.

Microencapsulation method protects active acid from early volatilisation and oxidation. 24 months shelf life at ambient settings vs. 12-18 months normal for liquid concentrates.

Application of Acetic Acid Powder

Food Seasoning Blends: The powder is the principal acidulant in dry seasoning blends for chips, popcorn and seasoned salts, delivering genuine vinegar flavour without the moisture that leads to clumping in salt-based formulations.

Beverage Premixes: For the formulation of instant beverage powders or electrolyte drink mixes needing regulated acidity, the powder provides delayed release qualities that prevent premature flavour development during storage while assuring quick dissolve upon reconstitution.

Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as the acid component in effervescent tablet formulations, interacting with carbonates to provide a regulated release of CO2. It has been shown to have higher stability than citric acid in high humidity settings.

Industrial Cleaning Formulations: Your industrial descaling powders and hard water stain removers take use of the powder’s controlled release mechanism that moderates acid availability and increases contact time on vertical surfaces Acetic Acid Powder.

Manufacturing Process

Step 1- Raw Material Preparation: The raw material (high purity synthetic acetic acid or vinegar from fermentation) is tested for initial quality and diluted to the optimum concentration. Outcome: A standardised liquid precursor that meets food-grade criteria.

Step 2 – Carrier Blending: The acid solution is blended with authorised food-grade carriers such as maltodextrin or modified starches under controlled agitation. Result Homogeneous slurry with optimum solid to liquid ratio for atomisation.

Step 3-Spray Drying: The slurry is sent to high temperature spray dryers where immediate evaporation occurs due to contact with hot air streams with an intake temperature of 180-200 °C. Result: A free flowing powder with an acidity and moisture content of less than 5% is locked in.

Step 4 - Sieving and Packaging: The dried powder is passed through vibrating screens to ensure uniformity of particle dispersion and is then filled directly into multi-layer moisture-barrier bags under regulated humidity. A stable final product for worldwide distribution.

FAQ

Q: Long term storage: How stable is the powder vs liquid acetic acid?

A: The microencapsulated powder is far more stable, losing less than 5% potency over 24 months at room temperature, whereas liquid versions may lose 15-20% due to volatilisation and need refrigeration.

Q: What reconstitution ratio should I use for beverage applications?

A: 0.5-2% by weight of powder, depending on how acidic you want it to be. The powder completely dissolves in 60 seconds in water at 20°C with a gently stir.

Q: Can this powder be used instead of liquid vinegar in fermented food production?

A: It has the same amount of acetic acid, but the traditional fermentation has the whole metabolite profile you get in natural vinegar. The powder is best used for acidifying after fermentation or for stable dry spices.

Q: Is the carrier material free from any allergens?

A: Our normal maltodextrin carrier is made from non-GMO maize and does not include any significant allergens. However, production settings might differ, so you should look for a particular allergy statement for your regulatory files.

Q: What documentation supports food-grade claims for export markets?

A: We supply COA, MSDS, Halal, Kosher and organic certifications, along with 3rd party testing reports from SGS and Eurofins on pesticides, heavy metals and microbiological parameters as needed by FDA and EU standards.
