The two-step fermentation process

Alcohol fermentation: The raw material (grains or sugarcane, for example) is fermented into alcohol. This process results in distilled alcohol (ethanol).

Acetic acid formation: The distilled alcohol is then fermented further using acetobacter bacteria, which convert it into acetic acid. Acetic acid is the primary component of vinegar, giving it its distinct taste and strong aroma.

Alcohol vinegar for cooking

Vinegar is widely used in the food industry as a cooking ingredient, baking component, and food preservative. Its applications include:

Condiment and salad dressings: A key ingredient in vinaigrettes, sauces, and dips.

Marinades and pickling: Used for preserving vegetables, fruits, and meats due to its antibacterial properties.

Baking: Works as a natural leavening agent when combined with baking soda.
