281114-22-2 is a “corner” molecule found within Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). This molecule is a small molecule of acetic acid, which is the active ingredient in ACV that gives it its vinegar-like taste and smell. Acetic acid is a short-chain carboxylic acid, the simplest of its kind and is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. It is responsible for ACV’s strong sour taste and smell. ACV also contains trace amounts of other compounds such as citric, succinic, and lactic acid, and is used for health purposes including weight loss, for improving circulation and as a digestion aid.
