CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Making vinegar using mango can be an advantage due to the potential for
creating a unique and distinctive flavor profile. The natural sweetness and acidity of
the mango can impart a tropical and fruity note to the vinegar: offering a versatile
flavour. Experimenting mango vinegar allows a development for diverse recipes. As
customers seek for unique and locally sourced products, homemade mango vinegar
stands out as a real, handcrafted condiment that differs from mass-produced
equivalents, leading to a more personalized and handmade approach to culinary
exploration.

The goal of this study is to determine how vinegar mango differs from
regular vinegar and what its advantages are.
Therefore, the researchers want to find out the feasibility of vinegar using
mango.
This study aimed to find out the feasibility of fermenting mango vinegar. It
sought to answer following problems
1. What fermentation process can be done to in order to ferment the mango?
2. What is the level of acceptability of the fermented vinegar mango in terms of
the following:
a. Taste
b. Smell; and
c. Appearance
3. Is there a significant difference in the level of acceptability between the regular
vinegar and fermented mango vinegar?
Assumption

Hypothesis
Food industry: Incorporating mango vinegar into food products allows for
the development of innovative and distinct offerings, catering to consumer
preferences for new and exciting flavors
Definition of terms
In able for the readers to have better comprehension of the study the following
will be defined:
Fermentation - chemical processes that can convert a new product.

2. **Washing and Peeling**: Thoroughly wash the mangoes to remove any dirt or
contaminants. Peel the mangoes and remove the pits or seeds.
4. **Extracting the Juice**: After mashing or pureeing, extract the juice from the
mangoes. This can be done using a juicer or by pressing the pulp through a cloth to
separate the liquid.
5. **Adding Sugar**: In some cases, additional sugar may be added to the mango
juice to increase the alcohol content during fermentation. This step is important
because it provides the fuel for the fermentation process.
6
6. **Fermentation**: The next step is to allow the mango juice to ferment. This is done
by exposing the juice to natural acetobacter, a type of bacteria that converts the
alcohol in the juice into acetic acid. The fermentation process takes place in a
controlled environment with the right temperature and oxygen supply.
8. **Clarification and Filtration**: The matured vinegar may then be clarified and
filtered to remove any solids or sediments, resulting in a clear, visually appealing
product.
9. **Bottling and Packaging**: The final step involves bottling the mango vinegar in
clean, sterilized containers. Proper labeling and packaging ensure that the product is
ready for distribution and sale.
It's important to note that the specific details of mango vinegar production can vary
depending on factors such as the desired flavor profile, the presence of any additional
ingredients, and the scale of production. Additionally, maintaining a clean and sterile
environment throughout the process is crucial to prevent spoilage and ensure the
quality of the final product.
1. Selection of Mangoes: The first step in creating mango vinegar is to select ripe,
high-quality mangoes. The flavor, ripeness, and variety of the mangoes will have a
significant impact on the final product. Varieties such as Alphonso, Keitt, or Kent are
popular choices for making mango vinegar due to their rich flavor profiles.
2. Washing and Peeling: Once the mangoes are selected, they should be thoroughly
washed to remove any dirt or residue. The mangoes are then peeled to remove the
skin, revealing the juicy flesh within. The peels can be used for other purposes or
discarded.
3. Chopping and Mashing: After peeling, the mangoes are typically chopped into
smaller pieces to facilitate the mashing process. The chopped mangoes are then
mashed to extract the juice and pulp, which will serve as the base for the vinegar.
5. Acetification: In the next stage, the alcoholic mango liquid undergoes acetification,
a process during which acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter) convert the alcohol into
acetic acid. This is where the characteristic tangy flavor of vinegar develops. The
liquid is exposed to oxygen, typically through the use of a fermenting vessel with a
wide opening or through the use of a specific vinegar mother culture, to allow the
acetic acid bacteria to thrive and complete the conversion process.
8
6. Aging: Once the acetification process is complete, the mango vinegar is often aged
to develop its flavors further. This aging process can take place in various vessels
such as wooden barrels, stainless steel tanks, or glass containers. The type of aging
vessel can influence the final flavor profile of the vinegar.
7. Filtration and Bottling: After aging, the vinegar is typically filtered to remove any
sediment or impurities, resulting in a clear and refined product. It is then bottled and
sealed for distribution and consumption.
It's important to note that the specific details of the mango vinegar production process
can vary based on the desired vinegar style, flavor profile, and production scale.
Additionally, hygiene and sanitation practices are critical throughout the entire
process to ensure the safety and quality of the vinegar.
The resulting mango vinegar can be used in various culinary applications, such as
salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and even desserts. Its sweet and tangy flavor
profile adds a delightful twist to both savory and sweet dishes, making it a versatile
and sought-after ingredient.
Overall, the process of creating mango vinegar from mangoes is a labor of love that
requires attention to detail, care, and patience. With the right techniques and a focus
on quality, the end result can be a delicious and distinctive product that showcases
the natural flavors of mangoes in a whole new way.

In the study entitled “Studies on production of vinegar from papaya” conducted
by Surve, V.D.; Machewad, G.M.; Pawar, V.D.; Shinde, V.N.,The ripe, yellowish and
firm enough papaya fruits were obtained from Parbhani market (India). To determine
the effect of additives and enzymes, the juice was taken as such without any
9
treatment (sample A), sugared to increase the level at 15% (sample B), treated with
the diastase enzyme at the rate of 10% (sample C) and sugared and treated with
diastase enzyme at the rate of 10% (sample D). Phytochemical analysis revealed that
the fruit yielded high amount of pulp (75.55%) with a comparatively low total waste
index (24.4%). Among the component besides moisture, the prominent constituents in
the order of contents were TSS (11.05%), carbohydrates (10.2%), total sugars (9.85%)
and reducing sugar (8.35%). The alcohol yield was found to be proportional to the
duration of fermentation. The sample treated with sugar and diastase yielded
maximum alcohol (5.8%) followed by samples C and B. Similarly, the highest acidity
was recorded by sample D. The present study thus revealed that papaya (Carica
papaya) could be a good source for the production of vinegar by fermentation with
yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and bacteria (Acetobacter aceti).

CHAPTER V
Summary
Based on the result and related literature, acetic acid bacteria facilitate acetic
acid production, turning the alcohol into vinegar through acetic fermentation . The
fermented mango vinegar can be fermented for atleast more than 7 days . The level
of acceptability in terms of taste is moderately acceptable , texture is acceptable,
smell is acceptable and appearance is also acceptable. The result showed that the
study commercial datu puti vinegar is more than comparable to the “Fermented
Mango Vinegar “ in terms of the parameter of acceptability test. Fermented mango
vinegar provide a unique and fruity acidity.
Conclusion
25
Recommendation
This product (Mango Vinegar) can be used for cooking and preserves food for
long period of time. Mango fruit is easy to peel. The product is cheaper than the
commercial vinegar. In addition, mango vinegar has a sour taste and has weaker
smell compared to commercial vinegar.
