The Bulletin. 



VINEGAR. 



The subject of vinegar and its examination for adulteration has 

 been discussed at considerable length in previous Food Reports of this 

 Department, to which, for information not found here, the reader is 

 referred.* 



Acetic acid, of course, is the principal constituent of vinegar, but 

 the latter also contains small amounts of ethyl acetate, aldehydes, alka- 

 line acetate, tartrates, malates, and various other salts. 



Vinegar, on long standing, exposed to the air, deteriorates and loses 

 more or less of its acidity and should, therefore, be kept protected 

 from the air. 



The food standards recognize six kinds of vinegar, namely: (1) 

 vinegar, cider vinegar; (2) wine vinegar; (3) malt vinegar; (4) 

 sugar vinegar; (5) spirit vinegar; (6) glucose vinegar. Vinegar 

 of the several kinds must contain at least 4 per cent acetic acid.
