The aim of this study was to explore the potency of salacca vinegar made from various Indonesian salacca fruit extracts as therapeutic agent for hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia for STZ-induced diabetic rats. The rats were grouped into untreated rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats without treatment, and STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with Pondoh salacca vinegar, Swaru salacca vinegar, Gula Pasir s...

Obesity has become a serious health problem worldwide. Various types of healthy food, including vinegar, have been proposed to manage obesity. However, different types of vinegar may have different bioactivities. This study was performed to evaluate the anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory effects of coconut water vinegar on high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Changes in the gut microbiota of...

BACKGROUND Vinegars based on fruit juices could conserve part of the health-associated compounds present in the fruits. However, in general very limited knowledge exists on the consequences of vinegar-making on different antioxidant compounds from fruit. In this study vinegars derived from apple and grape are studied. METHODS A number of steps, starting from the fermentation of the fruit juic...

A commercial vinegar product (ChinKiang) was found to be highly attractive to adult house flies, Musca domestica L. Field experiments on a Nebraska dairy demonstrated that traps baited with vinegar and brown sugar captured more house flies than those baited with other house fly attractants. Solid phase microextraction was used in the field to collect volatiles from the vinegar bait. Seven compo...

Abstract Woodworkers darken wood by reacting iron in solution with tannins the to form blue–black phenolate complexes, a process called ebonizing. According literature, darkness and color are controlled tannin concentration (higher, darker) counterion of (acetate, darker). Iron acetate is not readily available, so woodworkers prepare it woodshop steel wool vinegar. This reaction was studied. Pr...

Four (4) different ratios of wood vinegar namely; 1:5; 1:10; 1:20 and 1:30 mL WV to water ratio extracted from coconut shell was tested determine their growth effect on Brassica juncea or mustard plant locally known as mustasa. Parameters measured were leaf number, height, width. Using randomized complete block design, experimental tests conducted using test plants. The samples 10 days old allo...

ABSTRACT: Wood vinegar has been used for over a century as fertilizer and antimicrobial agent, but its impacts on ecosystems are poorly understood; further research is necessary to understand chemical characteristics avoid negative impacts. This study assessed the characteristics, phytotoxicity, potential cytotoxicity, greenhouse gas emissions of wood made from slow pyrolysis in hot-tail kiln u...

Gluconacetobacter strains are prominent bacteria during traditional vinegar fermentation. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of Gluconacetobacter sp. strain SXCC-1. This strain was isolated from a fermentation starter (Daqu) used for commercial production of Shanxi vinegar, the best-known vinegar of China.
