Answer:
Ethanoic acid is used in the preservation of pickles. Another common preservative is acetic acid, which is used to stop bacterial growth in dressings, sauces, cheese and pickles. However, new research shows that a small amount of acetic acid does not have the intended effect, but rather the opposite -- it increases the amount of toxin from the harmful bacteria in the food.

Acids are used as preservatives because-
1) To give food a salty or sour taste.
2) Its pH is less than 4.6 which is sufficient to kill most bacteria.
