35
Q

This vinegar is made from the Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region.

36
Q

Home or let alone method-vats of cider are allowed to sit open at room temperature for several months until the alcoholic liquid is converted to acetic acid.or Orleans method or als

A

Slow method or natural method

37
Q

Fruit juice is periodically added to small batches of vinegar and stored in wooden barrels. As the fresh juice sours, it is skimmed off the top.

A

Continuous Method

38
Q

Generator process or the fogging procedure – alcoholic liquid is in motion; spirits(alcohol)

A

Quick Method

39
Q

Based on the goal of infusing much oxygen into the alcoholic product. The oxygen is pumped at the bottom of the steel tanks called acetators. A heater in the tank keeps the temperature between 80-100F (26-38C).This is often used in the production of wine vinegars.

A

Standards and Specifications

45
Q

Iron or copper contamination can cause bluish or black coloration. Oxidase enzymes may lead to darkening of vinegar.
