Apple Cider Vinegar

Open classification: chemistry, diet, practical

ACV stands for apple vinegar or apple vinegar. Among the 22 mineral elements necessary for health, ACV contains 19, and the content is just right. These include potassium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, silicon and pectin. ACV also contains natural malic acid and alkyd, which plays an important role in resisting toxins in the body and inhibiting undesirable bacteria. It is reported that ACV contains extra acid, which can help digestion. Many dogs like the taste of ACV. It can even make raw meat food smell less like raw meat. In ACV, many people soak raw food before feeding to promote bone digestion. Remember soaking bones in vinegar in chemistry class? It becomes like rubber! Again, the right to use ACV depends entirely on the individual. You can use it or not. By the way, adding a teaspoon of ACV to the dog's food every day can remove tears (for those dogs with light fur). It takes 7 to 10 days to take effect.

(ACV) is a mixture whose main component is malic acid (C4H6O5). Numbers are subscripts.

malic acid

The molecular formula HOOCCHOHCH2COOH. Also known as hydroxysuccinic acid. Widely exists in immature fruits, such as apples, grapes, cherries, pineapples and tomatoes. Malic acid molecule contains a chiral carbon atom (see asymmetric atom) and has two enantiomers, namely L- malic acid and D- malic acid. Naturally occurring L- malic acid is a colorless crystal; The melting point is 100℃, and it is decomposed into maleic acid when heated to about 140℃. Soluble in water, ethanol and acetone. Malic acid contains carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and has the properties of these two functional groups, such as reacting with alcohol to form monoesters or diesters. Malic acid cannot form anhydride, but it is easy to form cyclic lactide.

Calcium fumarate was fermented and hydrated by fumarase to form calcium L- malate, and then acidified to obtain L- malate. If fumaric acid or maleic acid is catalyzed by water at high temperature and high pressure, racemic malic acid can be generated. D- malic acid can be prepared by racemic resolution. Malic acid is widely used in food industry, such as making drinks. Sodium malate is a condiment of salt-free diet. Malic acid esters can be used as additives for margarine and other edible oils. Malic acid is also the raw material for manufacturing alkyd resin.

Properties of apple vinegar

Supporters of the apple vinegar diet say that fermented apples contain pectin, which is believed to help reduce fat content. Therefore, what dieters need to do is to drink a few spoonfuls of apple vinegar before each meal, that's all, and burn excess fat easily.

Using apple vinegar brewed from fresh apples to lose weight has been popular in the west for decades. As long as people who insist on drinking apple vinegar every day, they will have a good weight loss effect. This is a well-known fact, but it is really difficult for most people to drink a lot of vinegar every day. First, vinegar is hard to drink; Second: Simply drinking vinegar will cause too much acetic acid and gastrointestinal discomfort.

The study of malic acid found that malic acid can not only lose weight, but also bring the following benefits to the human body:

Enhance digestive function;

Reduce the level of harmful cholesterol;

C, enhance heart function;

D, lowering blood pressure (maintaining normal blood pressure);

E, maintain normal blood sugar level;

F, prevent the generation of cancer cells;

G, whitening the skin, keeping the skin smooth and moist, and removing heavy metals from the body.

Exercise:

Wash the apples first

Then dry the apples naturally or dry them with a clean cloth.

Slice all the apples.

Then put a layer of apples and a layer of rock sugar (1 kg of apples and 4 pieces of rock sugar) in a clean glass jar.

Finally, wait for the crystal sugar to melt and separate the water from the apple.

This natural fermentation will first become cider, and vinegar will take a year. If you want to speed up the process, you can wait 1~2 months before pouring pure brown rice vinegar. Never put vinegar and apples together, it will taste good.

Benefits of apple vinegar beverage

Apple vinegar beverage is made from high-quality concentrated apple juice, fermented into apple wine, then inoculated with acetic acid bacteria, metabolized into apple vinegar by Ostwald method, and then blended with the unique fruit aroma of apple juice to make apple vinegar beverage with different acidity of 1%-3%.

1. Alkaline beverage with sour taste

The original apple vinegar beverage is a functional alkaline beverage, which tastes acidic (conducive to the preservation of various nutrients and promoting the absorption of calcium). After metabolism in the body, it becomes alkaline and neutralizes acidic foods such as fish, meat, eggs, rice and noodles.

The acidic food and alkaline food we talked about a few days ago are not determined by the taste when they are eaten, but by the fact that the food contains metallic elements or nonmetallic elements. Most of the above acidic foods contain metal elements such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium, manganese and zinc, such as apples and tomatoes. Although it is sour, these organic acids are decomposed into carbon dioxide and various negative acids and salts become alkaline in the body. Apple vinegar is rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron, so it is an acidic alkaline beverage, and its health care function also comes from it.

2. A new generation of functional health drinks

We usually drink carbonated drinks, the main ingredient is citric acid, and the water we need is soft water, which is easy to cause modern civilized diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Drinking hard water for a long time can greatly reduce the incidence of modern rich diseases. Drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for human bone development, so drinking it for a long time is not good for human health.

Apple vinegar beverage can not only achieve the effect of good taste and thirst quenching, but also pay more attention to the nutritional effect on human body. The imbalance of sodium and potassium ions is an important cause of hypertension. The intake of sodium in daily diet is 1.4g/ day, while the intake of potassium is low. Apple vinegar beverage contains more potassium ions and calcium ions that can inhibit hypertension, and more potassium intake is beneficial to the stability of blood pressure.

Characteristics and efficacy of apple vinegar;

First, detoxification; Second, beauty and beauty; Third, strengthen physical strength; Fourth, longevity.

First, detoxification: fruit vinegar contains a special substance-pectin, which can reduce the number of bad bacteria in the intestine, thus helping beneficial bacteria to reproduce, thus playing the role of detoxification in the intestine.

Beauty beauty: Fruit vinegar is rich in vitamins, which can inhibit the formation of skin pigment, eliminate skin spots and increase the essence, thus playing the role of beauty beauty and anti-aging.

Third, enhance physical strength: the polysaccharide, potassium ion and tartaric acid contained in fruit vinegar can reduce the acidity in the body, thus relieving fatigue. Rich in zinc, it can enhance memory.

Longevity: Fruit vinegar is rich in 18 amino acids necessary for human body, including 8 amino acids that cannot be synthesized by human body and various trace elements such as potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, sodium and copper. Thereby softening blood vessels and lowering cholesterol. Appetizing, protecting liver, enhancing metabolism, and improving human disease resistance.
