Th fol lowing statement to Nebraska consumers of vinegar has been Issued by th Ne braska Food commission: Fraud In the sale of vinegar In Nebraska consists largely In the sale of vinegar artl- nciaiiy colored so aa to look line ciaer VlneRar. Many merchants buy thla artificially colored vinegar as elder vinegar at a elder vlnecar price and sell it to their customers aa cider vinegar. The lawa of the state forbid the sale of any vinegar artificially colored and any erson selling or aaving in possession, wun ntent to sell such vinegar. Is liable to fine of from $50 to $100 and costs of prosecu tion. The consumption of vinegar Is so great that It Is not possible to supply the de mand with cider vinegar, hence It la neces sary that other kinds be used. There seems to be a nreturilce on the part of many peo ple against the use of distilled, uncolored vinegar, believing It to be unwholesome Such Is not the case and In order that con sumers may properly understand this mat ter the following statement Is published for tne oenent or tne people or tne state, as authority for this statement In regard to vinegar and Ita essential part, acetic acid, the food commission refers by permission to H. H. Nicholson, professor of chemistry. State university; Miss Rosa Bouton, pro fessor of domestic science. State university, and J. M. Nelson, chemist, Nebraska Food commission. All vinegar results from the acetic fer mentation of alcoholic llaulds. The essen tlal Dart of any vinegar Is the acetic acid which It contains. The acetic acid comes from the fermentation of the alcohol. Alco hol ta the same whether it comes from corn or apples, grain or fruit, and when subjected to the same kind of fermentation It will change into the same acetic acid. Therefore the acetic acid of distilled vine gar is the same aa the acetic acid of cider vinegar or malt vinegar and for all prac tical and domestic purposes distilled vine' gar la Just aa good as cider or malt vine gar. Distilled or white win vinegar Is ob tained by distilling off the akrohol from the fermented wort from gralna such as corn and rye. This kind of vinegar la color- lesa and contains no substances Injurious to neaitn. Cider vinegar Is derived from the Juice of apples by allowing the sugar and starch of the apple to change Into alcohol and sub jecting it to acetlo fermentation. Cider vinegar has a color varying from pale yel low to a oeep rea. Malt vlnea-ar is made from the acetlo fer mentation of the wort from barley, corn or rye. It differs from distilled vlneaar In that the alcohol is not distilled off before It is cnanged into acetic acid. Thla vlneaar has a color varrlnr from red to brown and a peculiar malt-like odor. B.
