Vinegar production, 19th century

Vinegar production, 19th century cutaway artwork. This is a trickling method developed in 1823 by the German chemist Schutzenbach. The barrel is divided into three sections. An alcoholic solution in the top section trickles through an inert material packed in the middle section. Bacteria in the middle section produce acetic acid (vinegar) which is collected in the bottom section and removed via a tap. Air holes (bottom) and pipes (top) provide air and remove gases produced. Engraving from Grands Hommes et Grands Faits de l Industrie (Great Men and Great Facts of Industry), published in France circa 1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of vinegar production. The intricate cutaway artwork showcases a revolutionary trickling method developed in 1823 by the brilliant German chemist Schutzenbach. The image features a barrel divided into three sections, each playing a crucial role in the vinegar-making process. In the top section, an alcoholic solution slowly trickles through an inert material packed in the middle section. Here, bacteria work their magic by producing acetic acid, which is commonly known as vinegar. This precious liquid then collects in the bottom section and can be conveniently removed via a tap. To ensure optimal conditions for bacterial growth and fermentation, air holes are strategically placed at the bottom of the barrel while pipes at its top facilitate proper ventilation and gas removal. Engraved with meticulous detail, this historical artwork was published in France around 1880 as part of "Grands Hommes et Grands Faits de l'Industrie" (Great Men and Great Facts of Industry). It offers not only insight into technological advancements but also highlights how human ingenuity has shaped various industries throughout history. As we admire this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of both scientific progress and cultural heritage intertwined within our food industry's evolution.
