       Acetic  acid is a constituent of vinegar in which it  occurs to  the  extent of 3-5 percent. glacial acetic acid is  the  pure compound  (99.8%  min);  as distinguished from  the  usual  water solutions known as acetic acid. Vinegar is a dilute acetic acid.

It  is  flammable and has moderate fire risk. It  is  highly ;toxic  by  ingestion  and  is  strong  irritant  to  tissue.  The tolerance limit in air is 10 ppm.

Large  quantities  of  acetic  acid  are  required  for  the  manufacture  of acetate rayon, esters and lacquers and  vrnishes. It is also used for food industries. In India, the acid is mostly employed  for  the  coagulation  of rubber  latex,  and  for  the manufacture of pigments like white lead verdigris, etc.

It  is  also  employed in the preparation  of  acetates  and acetic esters, and in the dyeing and printing of textiles.
At  present, the commercial methods used for the  production of acetic acid are :
(1)  By acetaldehyde conversion method
(2)  By Oxidation of n-butone
(3)  By methanol conversion method.
But,  since  the last few  years,  biotechnological  process using molasses as the raw material is fastly coming up .

This process is divided into 2 major steps, viz.

(i)  Conversion of molasses into ethanol by fermentation process

(ii) conversion of ethanol into acetic acid by aerobic  bacterial oxidation  (ie.  by  air  oxidation  using  certain  en\ymes   as catalyst).
