In the pickle season, Bulgarian households traditionally stock up on large amounts of vinegar to put in their cans. However, to what extent is the vinegar we find in our home stores real and how can we distinguish a quality product from a chemical?
This question is explained by Radoslava Zhelyazkova, who has been producing vinegar for more than three decades. In order to obtain a natural product, the apples must first be crushed and distributed in tanks, where in about seven days they will produce wine.
Additional oxygen is used to support the process. Then, in about 36 hours, concentrated vinegar is obtained, which must be clarified and diluted with water. The liquid is then checked for any mechanical contaminants and bottled.
The so-called synthetic vinegar is obtained much faster, easier and cheaper. In about an hour, the acid is obtained, which is simply diluted with water. The resulting product contains synthetic acetic acid E 260 and coloring - caramel E 150.
It is from these two ingredients present on the label of a product in the store that you can tell that it is not natural. Additional landmarks are its significantly lower price, as well as the colored bottle. Manufacturers usually stop at it because it is made of recycled plastic and is also more profitable.
Always before you buy a vinegar, take a good look at the label and especially its composition. It must contain wine. No other ingredients can be present, said in the show Hello, Bulgaria and Eng. Atanas Drobenov from the BFSA.
