Introduction
Background of the Study
Vinegar is a versatile liquid that results from the fermentation of ethanol. The key ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid, which gives it an acidic taste. While there may be additions of other kinds of acid like tartaric acid and citric acid, the typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5, although the store-bought kind usually measures 2.4. In food preparation procedures, it is a multi-purpose product as an ingredient and condiment. In this study, the proponents want to explore if fermented santol can be a source of vinegar.
