Aädikhappekääritamine
Aädikhappekääritamine, also known as acetic acid fermentation, is a biochemical process where sugars are converted into acetic acid. This process is primarily carried out by a group of bacteria known as acetic acid bacteria. These bacteria are aerobic, meaning they require oxygen to survive and carry out their metabolic functions. They are commonly found in environments rich in ethanol, such as fermenting fruit juices or alcoholic beverages.
The key enzyme involved in this process is alcohol dehydrogenase, which oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde
Control of temperature and oxygen levels is crucial in managing acetic acid fermentation. For vinegar production,
