Vinegar Is used to act ag no preser- vative but it is the product of a form of decay through bacterin, known as fermentatio. "The word ‘itself comes from two TLa- tin words “vinum” and “acer” and means a sharp wine, . Alcohol liquors snel as cider ot light wines are acted upon hy bacteria whieh change them inte the sour liquid known as vinegar. chor (hey roe, This can he done by two different pro- ' cesses, The quick method is to allow ithe alcoholic liquor to trickle through hige vats containing shavings which ihave been thoroughly cleaned and in- oculated with acetic bacteria. These bacterin are commonly enlled “mother” ‘Air is admitted freely to complete the process. ‘The slow. process is to ‘leave _ the liquor exposéd to the air. It takes 'nhont six months to complete this pro- cess. The vinegar formed in both ways is minde pure by distilling it, The various kinds of vinegar sold commercially are determined by — the type of liquor ‘ysed, for exainple malt vinegarfrom eider and white vinegar from wine, Some times in the hone; through accident, what was originally intended to be grape or flundelion wine “turns into vinegar, The vinegar made in Canada is’ nsnally the- product of factories engaged -in pickling or pre- serving fruit ‘and vegetables, The out ‘put amaunted to four and a’ half mil- _ lion gallons in 1935.
