Premium Quality for Beverage, Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Applications
G K Enterprises offers Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) of the highest purity, derived exclusively from fermented sugarcane molasses. ENA is the finest grade of ethyl alcohol available on the market, primarily used in the manufacture of high-quality alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
As ethanol purity decreases, impurities increase — but ENA stands at the top, both analytically and organoleptically. Our ENA meets and exceeds the stringent quality requirements for USP, NF, and FCC standards and passes rigorous taste and odor evaluations.
The Purest Form of Ethanol
Extra Neutral Alcohol is produced using high-grade fermentation techniques and state-of-the-art distillation. Although modern instruments can detect minute impurities, organoleptic testing—using human senses—is still the gold standard for ENA meant for consumption. This test, typically conducted at 40 proof (20% v/v), ensures the absence of any undesirable taste or odor.

Ethanol Content: Greater than 96.0% v/v
-
