Vinegar
Vinegar is a liquid produced from the
fermentation of
ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient,
acetic acid. The acetic acid concentration ranges typically from 4 to 8 percent by volume for table vinegar (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%) although in some countries the minimum strength may be less. Natural vinegars also contain smaller amounts of
tartaric acid,
citric acid, and other acids. It has been used since ancient times, and is an important element in
Western and
European,
Asian, and other traditional cuisines of the world.
