What is extra neutral alcohol?

ENA, short for extra neutral alcohol, is ethanol with a minimum of 96% alcohol per volume. It can be made from raw materials such as sugarcane, molasses and grains like corn, rye, wheat, barley and rice. While widely used as the only existing food grade alcohol, its denatured form is very popular in more industrial sectors such as pharmaceuticals and electronics.
