Key Points: Vinegar Production

  • Vinegar is chemically 4% acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and is used for flavouring and food preservation.
  • Ethanol is produced by fermentation of sugars using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
  • Ethanol is converted into acetic acid by bacteria Acetobacter and Glucanobacter.
  • Acetic acid is purified, pasteurized, and preserved by adding a small amount of SO₂ to obtain vinegar.
  • Microbial fermentation is used in beverage production such as wine and cider using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and in coffee and cocoa processing for seed separation.
