Vinegars are commonly used for pickling of fruits and vegetables
and in the preparation of mayonnaise, salad dressings, mustard,
and other food condiments. Although useful as a food ingredient
for flavor and functional properties, the potential health benefits
of vinegar varieties are leading researchers to further consider this
long used food product (T¨urker 1963; Tan 2005). Regular consumption
of bioactive substances is promoted by many nutritional
researchers and the functional food properties of vinegar have been
reported in a variety of scientific and lay publications.With documentation
of the health benefits of vinegar, a concurrent increase
in demand for fruit vinegar production has occurred (Mazza and
Murooka 2009; Ou and Chang 2009)
