    Coconut vinegar is made through the natural fermentation of coconut water. It is rich in nutrients and used widely in cooking. The process involves concentrating coconut water, fermenting it with yeast, then adding acetobacter bacteria to produce acetic acid. This fermented liquid is run through a vinegar generator and collected in a receiving vat to further concentrate the vinegar. A 100-liter per day production facility can be established for around Rs. 6 lakhs with equipment like feed and receiving troughs and vinegar acetifiers. The annual sales and profits are estimated to be Rs. 4 lakhs and Rs. 0.8 lakhs respectively, with a 20% return on investment.

    Coconut Vinegar

    Introduction

    Coconut vinegar is made from fermented coconut water and is used extensively as a
    preservative and flavouring agent in pickles, salads, sauces and many other condiments.
    Coconut vinegar is also made from the sap of the coconut tree and is similar to the fresh
    coconut water. Naturally fermented coconut vinegar is rich in minerals and vitamins such as
    Beta carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium. Raw, unfiltered
    organic coconut vinegar is similar to the one that is fermented naturally. Coconut vinegar helps
    in digestion and ^improves the quality of cooked meat and fish. It is a healthier alternative to
    synthetic vinegar. Coconut water is being wasted in copra and DC industry in the country. The
    Board in collaboration with the CFTRI, Mysore has developed a technology for the production of
    coconut vinegar from matured coconut water using vinegar generators. The vinegar generator
    assembly comprises a feed vat, an acidifier and a receiving vat for collection of vinegar. Vinegar
    has extensive use as a preservative in the pickle industry and flavouring agent in food
    processing sector. Now natural vinegar enjoys export market in place of synthetic vinegar.

    Process

    The matured coconut water consisting of about 3 per cent sugar content is concentrated to 10
    per cent level by fortifying with sugar. The fortified coconut water is then fermented by
    inoculating the solution with yeast, Sacharomyces cerviseae. After alcoholic fermentation for
    about 4 to 5 days, the clear liquid is siphoned off and inoculated with mother vinegar containing
    acetobacter bacteria. The alcoholic ferment obtained is then fed into a vinegar generator where
    the feed is uniformly sprayed over the surface of the porous packing medium (corn cobs). Here
    the alcoholic ferment is oxidized to acetic acid. The product is run out from the packing medium
    by gravity flow into the receiving vat from where it is recycled into the vinegar generator and the
    process of acetification is repeated until a strength of 4 per cent is attained. This acetified
    vinegar is then aged before bottling.
