 INTRODUCTION

Vinegar has been widely used as a flavoring and cooking ingredient in foods for

thousands of years. Various materials such as fruits, rice and whole grains are used for

vinegar production via the solid-state fermentation process. There are many advantages

of vinegar, especially in medicinal applications, such as anti-infective, antidiabetic and

cardiovascular-protective effects, digestive system assistance, appetite stimulation,

regulation of blood pressure and recovery from exhaustion. Moreover, the antioxidative

activity and antitumor promoting effects are found in the extracts of vinegar. Therefore,

vinegar has been consumed for medicinal use and health benefits. Rice vinegar is a

traditional vinegar and has been widely used as a food seasoning for a long time in

Asian countries that can be made from species of rice by solid-state fermentation.

Vinegars are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds including amino acids,

sugars, organic acids, polyphenols, melanoidins, and tetramethylpyrazine.

Functional therapeutic properties of vinegar described include antibacterial activity,

blood pressure reduction, antioxidant activity, reduction in the effects of

diabetes, and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

This is the reason why the researchers find interesting in using vinegar in

cooking rice for the long consumption of rice in the family especially if we are having

baon it to school.
