Cane Vinegar

Vinegar is obtained by fermenting vegetable sugars into alcohol and then contacting them with oxygen and bacteria. This process produces an acetic acid. This can have a strength of 4 to 15%. Vinegar can be made from various fruits, grains, vegetables.

Sugarcane vinegar is made from the natural molecules from the sugarcane plant. This can result in an amber-colored vinegar. The sugarcane vinegar has a mild and malty taste. The vinegar is no sweeter than other types of vinegar.

Sugarcane vinegar is obtained by carefully collecting the sugarcane. The sugar cane must be peeled to release the sugars. The fresh stems are crushed so that the juices can flow out and be collected. The liquid is boiled and a thick syrup with a high sugar content is formed. This liquid undergoes a two-fold fermentation whereby the sugar is first converted into alcohol and then into acetic acid. Depending on the strength, it is then prepared with water. In the Philippines, sugarcane vinegar is best known as "sukang iloko" and is used for many diverse recipes in the Filipino kitchen.
