Dielectric, UV-vis, FTIR Spectroscopic and Rheological Studies on the Quality of Traditional Homemade Vinegars

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the quality differences of the apple, blended apple, grape, blended grape, hawthorn and blended hawthorn homemade vinegars produced by the traditional method. These vinegars were analyzed by using a combination of the dielectric spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and rheological techniques. Dielectric properties were analyzed as frequency dependent and behaviors consistent with Maxwell-Wagner theory were demonstrated. The complex impedance plane plots corresponding to the impedance circuit on the Smith chart, which is the equivalent resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit for vinegar, were found to be compatible with the Cole-Cole relaxation model. It was determined that the UV-vis spectra of vinegars differ depending on the concentration of organic acids and phenolic compounds in their content. By obtaining the optical band gaps (Eg) for all samples, we observed that most blended vinegars had lower the Eg values than pure ones. According to flow behaviours, it was revealed that all vinegars whose quality characteristics we analyzed, have non-Newtonian shear-thickening (dilatant) fluid behavior.
