Vinegar is a liquid obtained after alcoholic uid is exposed to oxygen in controlled conditions. Millet vinegar was
produced basically to nd a replacement for the commonly used and less economical apple cider vinegar. Initially, four
millets were selected as whole grains and heated with 5 folds of water at 90 to 100°C for 2 to 3 hours. Further the liquid obtained was used as
reaction mixture for alcoholic and acetic acid fermentation. Vinegar so obtained after 7 days of alcoholic fermentation and 15 days of acetic acid
fermentation is measured for its various physicochemical parameters. Vinegar showed signicant acidity of (5.5%) as acetic acid and various
vitamins and minerals with low energy value. Vinegar also showed notable antimicrobial property with respect to selected bacterial species.
Overall attempt for vinegar production using millets was successful. Further investigation on other properties and by improving vinegar
production with controlled parameters could produce better vinegar.
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.
