The production of vinegar depends on an oxidation process that is mainly performed by acetic acid bacteria. Despite the different methods of vinegar production (more or less designated as either "fast" or "traditional"), the use of pure starter cultures remains far from being a reality. Uncontrolled mixed cultures are normally used, but this review proposes the use of controlled mixed cultures. The acetic acid bacteria species determine the quality of vinegar, although the final quality is a combined result of technological process, wood contact, and aging. This discussion centers on wine vinegar and evaluates the effects of these different processes on its chemical and sensory properties.
醋的生产依赖于一个主要由醋酸菌进行的氧化过程。尽管醋的生产方法各异(或多或少被称为“快速”或“传统”方法),但使用纯发酵剂培养物仍远未成为现实。通常使用的是未加控制的混合培养物,但本综述建议使用经过控制的混合培养物。醋酸菌的种类决定了醋的品质,不过最终品质是工艺过程、与木材接触以及陈酿等综合作用的结果。本讨论聚焦于葡萄酒醋,并评估这些不同过程对其化学和感官特性的影响。
