Acetic Acid is a synthetic carboxylic acid with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully known, undissociated acetic acid may enhance lipid solubility allowing increased fatty acid accumulation on the cell membrane or in other cell wall structures.

Acetic acid, as a weak acid, can inhibit carbohydrate metabolism resulting in subsequent death of the organism. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical that is used in the production of plastic soft drink Acetic Acid is a synthetic carboxylic acid with antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Acetic acid, as a weak acid, can inhibit carbohydrate metabolism resulting in subsequent death of the organism. It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical that is used in the production of plastic soft drink bottles, photographic film; and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as many synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households diluted acetic acid is often used as a cleaning agent. In the food industry acetic acid is used as an acidity regulator.
