It is also used in pharmaceutical products such as drops, tinctures, disinfectants, and creams, as well as in food production, such as vinegar.

Frequently Asked Questions About 96% ABV Potable Alcohol
-
What does the term undenatured mean?
Undenatured alcohol refers to ethanol (potable alcohol) that has not been denatured.
Denatured alcohol is ethanol to which specific substances have been added to make it unfit for consumption. This process is often carried out to exempt the alcohol from excise duty, as it is intended for industrial, technical, or medical use rather than human consumption.
Undenatured neutral alcohol such as grain neutral spirit with 96% ABV on the other hand, is pure alcohol without any such additives. It is therefore approved for use in the production of spirits, cosmetics, medicines, and food products. -
Is Grain Neutral Spirit with 96% ABV Vegan?
In its pure chemical form, 96% potable alcohol is vegan. It is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as sugars or starches. This fermentation process is carried out by yeast, which converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The raw materials used, such as sugarcane, corn, grains, or potatoes, are of plant origin. The production of high-quality neutral spirit with 96% ABV does not involve any animal-derived ingredients.
-
Is Neutral Spirit with 96% ABV Distilled Alcohol?
Yes, neutral spirit with 96% ABV is distilled alcohol. It is produced through a distillation process that separates ethanol from the fermented mash made from starch- or sugar-rich raw materials such as grains, potatoes, or sugarcane. This process ensures the high purity and concentration of distilled alcohol, such as grain neutral spirit with 96% ABV, making it nearly neutral in taste and ideal for various applications, including the production of spirits, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products.
