Is the composition of edible medical industrial alcohol 1?
No, medical alcohol is made from starch plants through saccharification, fermentation and distillation, which is equivalent to the process of brewing wine, but the distillation temperature is lower than that of wine, the distillation times are more than that of wine, the alcohol content is high, and the finished product yield is high. Ethers and aldehydes other than alcohol are more than alcohol, so you can't drink them, but you can contact the human body for medical use.

Edible alcohol is a kind of water-containing alcohol made from grains, potatoes, molasses or other edible crops by fermentation and distillation, which is used in food industry.

Industrial alcohol is the alcohol used in industry, also known as denatured alcohol and industrial liquor. The purity of industrial alcohol is generally above 95%. There are mainly two production methods (corn or cassava), which contain a certain amount of impurities such as methanol, aldehydes and organic acids, which greatly increase its toxicity. Industrial alcohol can not be used for human disinfection, because methanol can cause poisoning, and some of it will be absorbed by the skin when used for skin disinfection, leading to blindness and even death.
