Ethanol 140 Proof (70%) Non-Denatured Alcohol, USP/FCC Food Grade, Kosher, Halal

Ethanol 140 Proof (70%) Non-Denatured Alcohol, USP/FCC Food Grade, Kosher, Halal

There are many applications in the food industry for which a lower concentration of ethanol is acceptable or often preferred. The ability of ethanol to denature proteins is maximized at 60-90% concentration. This feature of ethanol is critical for many applications, including its function as a bactericide . Any surface that comes into contact with food during processing requires sanitization with food grade reagents .

In all of the discussed applications, it is essential that the ethanol be USP/FCC compliant. Lower grades such as technical grade ethanol can contain contaminants such as acetaldehyde at concentrations that are up to 10-fold higher than USP/FCC-compliant reagents.

Ethanol 140 Proof (70%) is an undenatured ethyl alcohol, CAS 64-17-5, supplied as a clear liquid free from sediment with a sweet odor typical of alcohol. It’s USP/FCC (Food) Grade with a 70.00% assay and a proof range of 138.6 to 141.4. Specific gravity runs 0.886 to 0.888 at 20°C, and it mixes fully with water. The molecular formula is C2H5OH and the molecular weight is 46.07. You’ll see Kosher and Halal certification, a GRAS reference citation of 21 CFR 184.1293, and Vegan and GMO Free badges. Under Product Manuals you can download the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Kosher and Halal certifications, GRAS document, and allergen, gluten free and vegan statements. Certificates of Analysis sit in the tab beside them.

You’ll find this 70% ethanol used as a solvent and reagent, in food industry work, and in botanical extractions. The trouble is that a food grade job needs the right grade and the paperwork to match. A supplier who can’t send documents or ship the size you need slows your whole project. The SDS, Technical Data Sheet and Certificates of Analysis are available right on this page, and sizes run from 500ml bottles up to 270 gallons and full pallets, with fast shipping that includes hazmat transport. Here’s the plan. Pick your size, set up Autoship if you reorder, or send us a request through the quote form for bulk volumes. On budget, on time, every time.
