Vinegar Manufacture - Project Report - Business Plan

http://www.mpstateagro.nic.in/Project%20Reports%20pdf/VINEGAR.pdf



Vinegar is a liquid produced from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key
ingredient, acetic acid. The acetic acid concentration ranges typically from 4 to 8 percent by
volume for table vinegar (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%).

The all-important raw material will be fruits. Many fruits are grown round the year and
availability would not be a problem. Other materials like yeast, sugar, salt, chemicals and
colours shall be available locally.

CFTRI has developed a fast process for obtaining vinegar, using a simple inexpensive
vinegar generator, which can be adapted in rural areas to manufacture vinegar using the
locally available raw materials like sugarcane juice/jaggery/toddy/ coconut water / pineapple
waste, etc. Vinegar generator can be locally fabricated. Vinegar generators are simple to
operate.



The rated capacity of the unit is 48000 ltrs per annum.
