In this study, we investigated the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of fermented vinegar using onion and black onion. When the onion and black onion were fermented in alcohol for 8 days, the alcohol content in both onion vinegar (OV) and black onion vinegar (BV) increased, whereas their sugar content decreased. The alcohol content was higher in OV than that in BV. When the onion and black onion were fermented in acetic acid for 20 days, the pH of both OV and BV decreased, whereas their total acidity increased. After fermentation, the main free sugars of OV and BV were fructose and glucose, and they were higher in BV than in OV. The major organic acids in OV and BV were acetic acid and malic acid, and the content of acetic acid was higher in BV than that in OV. In addition, OV and BV increased 1,1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS + ) radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, DPPH and ABTS + radical scavenging activities were greater in black onion juice than in onion juice. The BV showed a higher DPPH and ABTS + radical scavenging activities than OV. Therefore, BV is the more suitable antioxidant functional vinegar through radical scavenging activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
