In the case of ethanol, this process makes acetaldehyde—a toxic chemical—and then acetate, or acetic acid, the acid found in vinegar. However, methanol becomes formaldehyde—a cancer-causing chemical ...
If oxygen gets in, the ethanol will oxidise into ethanoic acid and the drink will taste like vinegar. Methanol is used as a chemical feedstock. It’s toxic, so it is added to industrial ethanol ...
Ethanol is metabolized into a chemical compound called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but is rapidly converted to acetate (also known as acetic acid, found in vinegar). Generating an acid may ...
