It is usually obtained from sugar cane and has many commercial uses. Food grade alcohol can be characterized as a colorless, odorless liquid that is volatile and flammable, and is used primarily as a drug or beverage, especially in the production of alcohol. Food grade alcohol is mainly used in the food and beverage industry as an ingredient in products such as flavorings, extracts, colorants, etc. In the food industry, alcohol is widely used in the manufacture of vinegar, yeast, flavorings and extracts, caramel glazes, food coloring, and various food sprays. Food grade equipment is not necessarily used in the alcohol production process. Population growth and rapid urbanization have fueled the need for quality food.
