Abstract
This study was performed to develop functional vinegar by using cucumbers through two stages of fermentation. The alcohol content was maximized (7.8%) after 6-days of alcohol fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$ by adjusting the initial sugar concentration to $15^{\circ}Brix$, and vinegar with an acidity of 5.8% was obtained after 12-days of acetic acid fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$. The major sugars in the produced vinegar were glucose and fructose, which were present in concentrations of 3,067.26 and 395.73 mg%, respectively. The major organic acids were acetic acid and succinic acid, which were present in concentrations of 4,410.5 and 841.11 mg%, respectively. The total free amino acid content of the cucumber vinegar was 181.45 ${\mu}g/mL$ and citrulline, valine, aspartic acid, asparagine, and ornithine were the major amino acids. The inorganic components included various alkaline elements, such as K, Ca, and Mg. In addition, experimental methods to assess the DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radical-scavenging ability, reducing power, and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching activity showed that the cucumber vinegar had strong antioxidant properties. The total polyphenol content, which are the major components responsible for the antioxidant activities of the cucumber vinegar, was 40.14 mg/100 mL. The cucumber vinegar showed significantly higher hepatic aldehyde dehydrogenase activity when compared to the alcoholic control (negative) and the marketing drink (positive), resulting in decreased plasma acetaldehyde concentrations in rats. These results demonstrate that cucumber vinegar possesses antioxidant properties and holds great promise for use in preventing hangovers.
