Acetic acid

Comments

 
Picture
organic acid which gives vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell. Produced by acetic acid bacteria including Clostridium acetobutylicum and Acetobacter, found universally in food, water and soil, produced in food spoilage and in the human body - for example, in vaginal lubrication.  This  second simplest carboxylic acid (after formic acid) is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical, mainly used in the production of cellulose acetate for photographic film and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as synthetic fibers and fabrics. the acid that gives vinegar its characteristic taste. 
One of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs, also called volatile fatty acids) containing fewer than 6 carbons: Formic acid (C1), acetic acid (C2), propionic acid (C3), butyric acid (C4), and valeric acid (C5). The gut microbial metabolites SCFAs profoundly regulate T cell differentiation in the body, boosting immune system.

if raised, suggests bacterial fermentation due to excess carbohydrate reaching the colon; levels are not significantly altered in patients with malignancy or diabetes mellitus, but severe liver disease and severe acidosis were both associated with increased acetate concentrations. Elevated blood acetate is also an indicator of fast ethanol elimination in chronic alcoholics.
