PURPOSE: To produce healthy vinegar adequately containing an active ingredient of a plant belonging to the Genus Panax of Araliaceae and drinkable and to provide a producing method capable of obtaining the healthy vinegar. CONSTITUTION: In producing this health vinegar, an active ingredient of a plant belonging to the genus Panax of Araliaceae, e.g. saccharide or saponin, etc., is eluted into an ethanol aqueous solution in a large amount in an alcohol extracting process 4 to afford an ethanol extract. In successive acetic acid fermentation process 3b, the ethanol extract solution containing saccharide or saponine, etc., in relatively large amount is subjected to acetic acid fermentation by the action of a microorganism such as acetic acid bacterium. Mild healthy vinegar which is readily drinkable is obtained without impairing efficacy of saponin by such microorganismic treatment. |
