Vinegar is a wine fermentation product that has been known to man since very ancient times. For the first time this substance was used in the third century BC. The famous Greek scientist Theophrastus was the first to describe the effect of vinegar on metals, leading to the appearance of some pigments used in art.
Even in ancient Rome, specially prepared wine in lead pots. Such wine was very sour, which was its distinguishing feature. The result was a drink of increased sweetness, which was called "sapa". "Sapa" in its composition contained a lot of lead acetate - that very sweet substance. Because of this drink, lead poisoning was very common in the Roman aristocracy. At the beginning of the 8th century, Jabiribn Hayyan, an Arab alchemist, was first able to obtain acetic acid through distillation.
Acetic acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic sour taste and pungent odor. It is hygroscopic. It dissolves in water to an unlimited extent, so you should know in advance in what proportions to dilute acetic acid. It is miscible with most solvents, but best with HCl, HF, HBr, HI. Exists in the form of linear and cyclic dimers.
How is acetic acid obtained?
One of the most common industrial methods for producing acetic acid is the oxidation of acetaldehyde with atmospheric oxygen. The process is carried out in the presence of a special catalyst - manganese acetate at a temperature of 50 to 60 °C.
2CH3CHO + O2 → 2CH3COOH
Other methods for producing acetic acid have been used in the past, such as the oxidation of butane and acetaldehyde. The oxidation of acetaldehyde occurred in the presence of manganese at elevated pressure and temperature. The output could be 95% acetic acid.
But still, a natural acid is one that is obtained by fermentation. It can be grape or apple wine.
The properties of a given substance may vary depending on the percentage of water in it. Because of this, for many centuries chemists believed that the acid from acetates and the acid from wine are two different substances. Naturally, this opinion was wrong. It all depends on the concentration of water.
Types of acetic acid.
96-100% is glacial (anhydrous) acetic acid, which is a colorless hygroscopic liquid or colorless crystals with a very unpleasant and pungent odor. Glacial acetic acid is used for the implementation of the synthesis of various dyes, as well as for the accelerated production of acetone and cellulose acetate. Glacial acid can also be used in the food industry, but only in the form of vinegar essence or vinegar. It should be noted that in everyday life it can be used for cooking. This is due to the fact that it can be easily diluted with water, knowing the correct proportions.
Glacial acetic acid is obtained by synthesis or fermentation of several organic substances. Also, glacial acid is always found in the products of dry distillation of certain types of wood.
A 70-80% solution of acetic acid is called vinegar essence. Acetic essence is the trade name for an aqueous solution of edible acetic acid, which is obtained by fermenting acetic acid alcoholic liquids. As a rule, vinegar essence is used in the preparation of marinades, table vinegar and food preservation. There are times when vinegar essence is needed in the spin recipe, and in the kitchen there is only ordinary table vinegar 9%, or vice versa. Most housewives do not know how to get out of this situation. Therefore, you should know that these fluids are interchangeable. The main thing is to know how to properly dilute acetic acid, namely in what proportions.
For example, from table vinegar it is necessary to obtain a 70% solution of vinegar essence. In this case, you need to reduce the amount of water by as much as it is planned to add a bite. The calculation formula is very simple:
1 tablespoon of vinegar essence \u003d 8 tablespoons of vinegar 9% for 7 tablespoons of water; 1 tablespoon of vinegar essence \u003d 12 tablespoons of vinegar 6% for 11 tablespoons of water; 1 tablespoon of vinegar essence = 21 tablespoons of 3% vinegar to 20 tablespoons of water.
It should be noted that vinegar essence is a rather toxic substance, the poisoning of which is considered the most common of household intoxications. So, the lethal dose, in the absence of verified medical care, is 30-50 milliliters of 80% vinegar essence.
If someone drank acetic acid in its pure form, then severe burns of the mucous membranes of the pharynx and oral cavity await him, and the stomach and esophagus are also affected. The most common consequences of acetic acid absorption include hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, acidosis, and bleeding disorders.
Vinegar (3-15% aqueous solution of acetic acid) is a product with a certain content of acetic acid. Often, this substance is obtained as a result of microbiological synthesis using acetic acid bacteria from special alcohol-containing raw materials. Also, table vinegar can be obtained from glacial acetic acid or hay essence, you just need to know how acetic acid is diluted.
It is a slightly colored or colorless transparent liquid with a sharp sour taste and a specific unpleasant odor. Vinegar is divided into synthetic and natural. It is widely used in cooking.
Food vinegar of a natural type is produced in the following assortment: Fruit and apple (from fruit raw materials). Alcohol (from ethyl alcohol for food production). Wine (from grapes and wine materials). Balsamic (from grapes and wine materials by long-term aging in barrels of various types of wood). Flavored alcohol with natural flavors (plant extracts, spices). Malt. Whey (from purified whey).
As for synthetic vinegar, for food purposes it is produced in its pure form and with the addition of various flavors (synthetic, identical to natural and natural). It should be noted that in some countries the production of vinegar for food purposes is prohibited (Bulgaria, USA and France).
We dilute the vinegar essence correctly.
Vinegar is an indispensable tool in everyday life, namely in the kitchen. There is vinegar in various concentrations, but most often housewives use a bite of 6% and 9% concentration. Acetic essence is not used due to ignorance or inability to prepare a 3 solution of acetic acid, while having a 70% essence.
To date, manufacturers write on bottles with labels of vinegar essence that it needs to be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:20, but this is not entirely true. There are also bottles where there is no such inscription at all. Therefore, you need to know how to use vinegar essence to get a table bite of various concentrations.
To dilute the essence, you need to take cold water, filtered or boiled. For a conventional unit (1 part) can be considered 1 tablespoon. The calculation on the vinegar calculator will show the inverse ratio of vinegar essence to table vinegar.
To prepare 3% vinegar, you need to take 1 part of vinegar essence and dilute it in 22 or 22.5 parts of water, that is, you get a ratio of 1:22 or 1:22.5. If you count on a special calculator for vinegar, then instead of 1 tablespoon, which contains 15 ml of liquid, 70% vinegar, you need to take 24.9 tablespoons of 3% vinegar.
To prepare 4% vinegar, take 1 part of the essence and dilute it in 17 parts of water. It turns out the ratio is 1:17. Based on a special calculator for vinegar, the indicators are as follows: instead of 1 tablespoon of 70% vinegar, you should take 18.6 tablespoons of 4% table vinegar.
If you need to prepare 5% vinegar, then the ratio will be 1:13, that is, one part of vinegar essence must be diluted in 13 parts of water. Looking at the calculation on the bite calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 70% vinegar, you should take 14.9 tablespoons of table vinegar with a concentration of 5%.
If you do not know how to dilute acetic acid to 6 vinegar, then you need to take one part of vinegar essence and dilute it in 11 parts of water, that is, in a ratio of 1:11. The calculation on the vinegar calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of vinegar essence, you need to take 12.4 tablespoons of 6% vinegar.
To prepare 7% table vinegar from vinegar essence, take one part of the essence and dilute it in 9 parts of water (1: 9 ratio). The reverse calculation on the calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 70% acetic acid, you need to take 10.6 tablespoons of vinegar with a concentration of 7%.
To prepare table vinegar with a concentration of 8%, you need to take one part of vinegar essence and dilute it in a ratio of 1:8, that is, in 8 parts of water. A calculation on the vinegar calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 70% vinegar, you should take 9.3 tablespoons of 8% vinegar.
Before diluting acetic acid to 9% vinegar, you need to make sure that the essence has a concentration of 70%. After that, one part of vinegar essence should be diluted in 7 parts of water (1: 7 ratio). The calculation on the calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of essence with a concentration of 70%, you need to take 8.2 tablespoons of 9% table vinegar.
To prepare 10% table vinegar, one part of vinegar essence is taken and diluted in a ratio of 1:6, that is, in 6 parts of water. From the calculation on the "vinegar" calculator, it will be seen that instead of one tablespoon of 70% vinegar, you should take 7.4 tablespoons of vinegar with a concentration of 10%.
To prepare 30% vinegar, which is very necessary in the case of canning various vegetables, you need to dilute one part of the essence in 1.5 parts of water, that is, in a ratio of 1:1.5. A calculation on the vinegar calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 70% vinegar, you should take 2.4 tablespoons of vinegar with a concentration of 30%.
There are times when instead of 70% vinegar, people mistakenly buy 30% vinegar. But this is not a problem, since it can also be easily diluted, you just need to know how to properly dilute acetic acid from 30% concentrations, since the proportions will already be different.
In order to get ordinary 3% table vinegar from vinegar essence, which has a concentration of 30%, you need to dilute it in a ratio of 1:10. That is, one part of vinegar essence is diluted in 10 parts of water. Reverse calculation on the bite calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 30% vinegar, you should take 1.4 tablespoons of table vinegar with 3% concentrations.
To prepare a 4% table bite from vinegar essence with a concentration of 30%, you need to dilute one part of it in 7 parts of water, that is, in a ratio of 1: 7. If you make a calculation on a special bite calculator, it will show that instead of one tablespoon of 30% vinegar, you should take 7.8 tablespoons of regular 4% vinegar.
To prepare table vinegar with a concentration of 5%, dilute one part of 30% vinegar essence in 6 parts of water (ratio 1:6). By doing the calculation on the vinegar calculator, you can make sure that instead of one tablespoon of a 30% bite, you need to take 6.2 tablespoons of a bite with a concentration of 5%.
If you do not know how to make 6 vinegar from acetic acid, then you need to take one part of vinegar essence from 30% concentrations and dilute it in 5 parts of cold, infiltrated water, that is, in a ratio of 1:5. Reverse calculation on a special bite calculator will show that instead of one part of the essence, you need to take 5.2 tablespoons of ordinary table vinegar with a concentration of 6%.
During the preparation of table vinegar with a concentration of 7%, in fact, nothing changes except the proportion. You should take one part of 30% vinegar essence and dilute it in 4 parts of water. The calculation on the "vinegar" calculator will show that instead of 1 tablespoon of 30% vinegar, you should take 4.4 tablespoons of 7% table vinegar.
To prepare ordinary 8% table vinegar from vinegar essence with a concentration of 30%, you need to take one part of the essence and dilute it in 3.5 parts of water. The ratio will be 1:3.5. Based on a special bite calculator, it will show that instead of one tablespoon of a bite with a concentration of 30%, you should take 3.9 tablespoons of regular 8% table vinegar.
Before transferring acetic acid to vinegar 9, you should prepare cold filtered water in advance and check whether the vinegar essence has a concentration of 30%, since the ratio for this concentration will be presented below. One 30% acetic acid must be diluted in 3 parts of water. If we consider the calculation on the calculator for vinegar, then instead of one tablespoon of vinegar with a concentration of 30%, you should take 3.4 tablespoons of the usual 9% vinegar.
To prepare 10% vinegar from vinegar essence with a concentration of 30%, you need to take one part of it and dilute it in 2.5 parts of water (1: 2.5 ratio). A calculation on the vinegar calculator will show that instead of one tablespoon of 30% vinegar, you need to take 3.1 tablespoons of regular table vinegar with a concentration of 10%.
So, the most common ratios for obtaining vinegar of a certain concentration were considered above. But you can always achieve the desired concentration yourself, for this you should know one small formula: K \u003d Csh / Str. In this formula, K is the coefficient, Cin is the initial concentration, Str is the required concentration. To make this formula easier to understand, consider a small example.
We need to dilute the 70% vinegar essence so that we get table vinegar with 2% concentrations. We substitute the values in the formula: K \u003d 70/2 \u003d 35. Thus, to get 2% vinegar, you need to dilute 1 part of the essence with 35 parts of water.
Safety precautions when working with vinegar essence.
Vinegar essence or diluted food vinegar are very often the culprits of burns and poisoning. The most common cause of poisoning and burns is vinegar essence with a concentration of 70%. This is due to the fact that most people do not know how to translate acetic acid into bite 9 and do it "by eye". Not only 70% acetic acid can cause burns and poisoning, this can also be achieved with 30% acid. Even a bite with a concentration of 2% is dangerous, especially for the eyes.
If the vinegar essence was taken orally, then immediately a burn forms in the mouth, pharynx and along the entire digestive tract, causing severe pain. The pain will continue when swallowing and lasts for about 10 days. A burn of the stomach, in addition to pain, is accompanied by vomiting with blood. Once in the larynx, vinegar essence causes hoarseness and swelling, which can lead to difficulty breathing, wheezing, blue skin and suffocation.
If 15-30 ml of liquid was taken inside, this causes a mild form of poisoning, 30-70 ml - medium, and 70 ml and above - severe, in which death is likely. In most cases, death occurs on the first day after poisoning due to pain shock, hemolysis and other phenomena of intoxication. On the second or fifth day after poisoning, death is caused by pneumonia, and in a longer period of time, profuse bleeding from the digestive tract. In the case of acute poisoning, the causes of death are acute liver and kidney failure.
Therefore, you should remember the following rules:
Do not clean coins with vinegar essence in the kitchen; - when cleaning coins, do not drink drinks and do not eat food at the same time; - Wash your hands thoroughly if they are contaminated with the solution.
First aid for poisoning with vinegar or vinegar essence.
If you have diluted acetic acid incorrectly, or have been poisoned by acetic acid in some other way, then you need to urgently resort to first aid. In case of contact with eyes, they should be immediately, abundantly and for a long time rinsed with cold water, then drip 1-2 drops of novocaine. After that, you need to drip special antibiotics, for example, a 0.25% solution of chloramphenicol.
Irritation of the upper respiratory tract is eliminated by rinsing the throat and nose with cold water, inhalation with a solution of soda. It is also recommended to drink warm Borjomi water or milk with soda.
In case of skin contact, rinse thoroughly with tap water. You can use soap or a 0.5-1% alkali solution. The burn site should be treated with a disinfectant solution, preferably with furatsilin. Treat the burn site with disinfectant solutions, for example, furacilin.
If a person drank acetic acid, then immediate gastric lavage is necessary with a thick probe, which is lubricated with vegetable oil. It is recommended to add egg white or milk to cold water. The use of laxatives and soda is strictly prohibited. If gastric lavage fails, then the victim should drink 3-5 glasses of cold water and induce artificial vomiting. This procedure must be repeated 3-4 times. The use of emetics is contraindicated. You can take starch, beaten egg yolks, milk and mucous decoctions inside. You can put something cold on your stomach. It is recommended to swallow small pieces of ice. In order to avoid pain shock, the victim should be given strong analgesics (morphine, promedol). In a hospital, intensive care and symptomatic treatment are carried out.
Vinegar is a fairly ancient spice used in cooking. Usually, it is colorless, but sometimes, it can be slightly colored.
- 1:7 if 30%;
- 1:17 if the essence is 70%.
Accordingly, to create a 5% acetic solution, the proportions will be equal to:
- 1:6 (at 30% of the original essence);
- 1:13 (at 70% essence).
For 6% solution:
- 1:5 (at 30% initial concentration);
- 1:11 (at 70% original concentration).
For 7% solution:
In herbal medicine, we use various solvents to prepare medicinal plant extracts. Among them we find, in particular, vinegar. The choice of vinegar is of paramount importance as it will directly affect the quality and effectiveness of the product. We are looking primarily at artisanal vinegar, unpasteurized and perfectly organic. But the criteria doesn't stop there. Vinegar, which is most commonly found in grocery stores, has an acetic acid percentage that is around 4 or 5%.
They can be used to make medicinal vinegars, but if you can get a vinegar with a higher acidity, you'll end up with a more concentrated, more potent, and more stable product. For many years, in Quebec, we have been able to find apple cider vinegar containing 8% acetic acid. So, we will share with you the fruits of our work so that you too can make your own vinegar with 8% acetic acid.
- 1:4 (at 30% initial concentration);
- 1:9 (at 70% initial concentration).
For 8% solution:
- 1:3.5 (at 30% initial concentration);
- 1:8 (at 70% initial concentration).
For 9% solution:
- 1:3 (at 30% initial concentration);
- 1:7 (at 70% initial concentration).
So, now you know how to dilute vinegar at home and use it correctly in making delicious pastries and marinades.
Other dilution schemes
We use the freezing method and know that this does not affect the viability of the vinegar. With the vinegar we use, it seems to be even more active after thawing. Amount of vinegar at the beginning: 3 kg. Initial acidity: 5% acetic acid.
Freezing time: 36 to 48 hours. Final acidity: 8 to 9% acetic acid. A small bucket of 4 liters with a lid. Chiffon or dishcloth per square meter. A small container that fits well in your bucket. Kit for testing the acidity of wine.
Acetic essence is a solution consisting of 20% water and 80% concentrated acetic acid. According to organoleptic characteristics, it is a colorless liquid with a sharp specific odor and a sour taste.
Food vinegar essence is obtained not by combining acid with water, but by distillation of 5% vinegar, which is naturally formed during the souring of wine. Pure acid can only be removed chemically by treating acetates with sulfuric acid.
Curious! 100% acetic acid is called glacial, because when cooled to 17 ° C, it turns into ice-like crystals.
In home cooking, we often come across not the essence itself, but its aqueous solution from 3 to 13%, known as table vinegar. However, for the preparation of some marinades and canned products, a 70% acid solution is required. What to do if it was not at hand? Is it possible and if so, how to replace vinegar essence with 9% vinegar?
Interchangeability of essence and vinegar
In fact, these 2 liquids are completely interchangeable, since they are made from the same raw material and differ only in concentration.
For example, 9% vinegar consists of 1 part essence and 7 parts water. Those. 8 spoons of 9% vinegar contains 1 spoon of essence and 7 water. Their ratio is 1 to 7.
Knowing the correct ratio of essence and water in table vinegar of a certain concentration, you can easily calculate the required amount of components mixed to obtain it:
- 3% - 1 ml of essence and 20 ml of liquid (1:20);
- 4% - 1 ml of acid and 17 ml of water (1:17);
- 5% - 1 ml of vinegar essence and 13 ml of liquid (1:13);
- 6% - 1 ml of food acid and 11 ml of water (1:11);
- 9% - 1 ml of essence and 7 ml of liquid (1:7).
Important! Vinegar essence can be dangerous in its pure form. Only 20 ml of the product is a lethal dose for humans, therefore, when manipulating it, strictly observe the proportions and caution.
How to replace the essence with ordinary vinegar
You can also make calculations in the opposite direction to find out how much vinegar you need to take instead of 70% food essence. But since there is more water in a dilute solution than in a concentrated one, less liquid will have to be added to the brine.
Consider the example of 9% vinegar. It consists of 8 parts, 1 of which is an acid, and the rest 7 are water. Therefore, to replace 1 tsp. essences take 8 tsp. vinegar and subtract 7 tsp from the liquid indicated in the recipe.
Or like this: 100 ml of essence \u003d 800 mg of 9 vinegar, in which 100 mg is acid and 700 is water.
With the help of such simple mathematical calculations, it is possible to draw up a pattern according to which 1 tsp essences are:
- 21 tsp vinegar 3%, minus 20 tsp. marinade water;
- 18 tsp 4% solution and subtract 17 tsp. liquids;
- 14 tsp vinegar 5%, minus 13 tsp. water;
- 12 tsp 6% solution, subtract 11 tsp. liquids;
- 8 tsp vinegar 9% and minus 7 tsp. water.
On a note! One tablespoon contains 15 ml of vinegar. In tea - 5 ml.
Calculation example:
Suppose, according to the recipe, you need to pour 20 g of vinegar essence into the brine. How much 9% vinegar will be needed?
How to dilute 70% (70 percent) vinegar into table vinegar must be understood before undertaking the preparation of a dish whose recipe indicates 9%, 7%, 6% or 5%, 3% acidity concentration of table vinegar. How to properly dilute vinegar 70%, 80% in order to get an aqueous solution of vinegar of the desired concentration, how much essence should be taken?
Table vinegar 9% can be bought ready-made in the store. But what if there was no bottle with the right concentration of liquid in the supermarket? The answer, it turns out, is simple - you can dilute 70% vinegar or 80% with your own hands. In culinary recipes, it is often recommended to take 6-7% or 9% vinegar. To get table vinegar, how to dilute acetic acid at home to the required concentration?
Advice from the Miracle Chef. Be careful with vinegar concentrate, be sure to work with gloves to avoid burns from acid on the skin. When diluting the essence, pour it into cold boiled water using glassware.
