Description
Sumac-infused vinegar is a vinegar enriched with phenolic acids from sumac, enhancing flavor and antimicrobial properties.
Technical
The infusion extracts gallic and ellagic acids, which esterify with acetic acid, increasing solubility and stability. The process is governed by temperature-dependent extraction kinetics and pH-controlled preservation, yielding a synergistic antimicrobial matrix.
