Question

vinegar content which acid
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acetic acid

Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic (ethanoic) acid in water. Acetic acid is produced by the oxidation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria, and in most countries commercial production involves double fermentation, because the ethanol is produced from the fermentation of sugars by yeasts.

Explanation:

Introduction

Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic (ethanoic) acid in water. Acetic acid is produced by the oxidation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria, and in most countries commercial production involves double fermentation, because the ethanol is produced from the fermentation of sugars by yeasts. The traditional vinegar and the traditional alcoholic beverage of a country are often made from the same raw material, for example wine vinegar in France, malt vinegar in the UK and rice vinegar in Japan, providing strong evidence that the first vinegar was the fortuitous result of a failure to produce an acceptable alcoholic beverage.

The long history of vinegar production testifies to the robustness of the fermentation steps involved. With only modest control measures and without the application of sophisticated microbiological expertise, the process will proceed reliably and reproducibly. The microflora necessary is generally part of the natural microflora of the raw materials used, and at each stage conditions restrict the growth of most other organisms.

Vinegar generally does not command the same high prices or esteem as do alcoholic beverages, but despite its somewhat down-market image it is an extremely important condiment and food ingredient. For centuries it has made an important contribution to the quality, safety and availability of foods – a role that shows no sign of diminishing, despite the advent of alternative methods of food preservation.

Answer 2

Acetic Acid

• Through a two part fermentation process,yeast and bacteria are used to turn the sugar into enthanol(ethyl alcohol),which is then processed into acetic acid .It is acetic acid content in vinegar makes it is acidic.
