Vinegar is a natural product rich in bioactive compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, and organic acids. Several factors affect the quality of vinegars such as apple origin, environmental conditions, production methods, processing, and storage conditions. We investigated the quality of apple vinegars as well as their physicochemical properties and the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of vinegars collected from different areas in Morocco. For physicochemical properties, the outcomes showed the following values: pH (3.18–3.83), electrical conductivity (2.11–2.90), acidity (0.24–5.6), Brix (3.25–6), and density (1.0123–1.0233). The polyphenols content of samples was 68.91 mg AG/100 mL in sample S6 as the minimum value and 147.54 mg AG/100 mL in sample S2 as the maximum value. The best ability to scavenge the DPPH radical was observed in sample S3 (IC50 = 0.45 ± 0.013 µL/mL). Sample S2 showed moderate antibacterial effect against microorganisms tested with MICs ranging from 0.78 µL/mL to 1.125 µL/mL and with a diameter of inhibition ranging from 15.65 mm to 27.65 mm. In addition, a strong correlation was observed between the antibacterial activity of vinegars and physicochemical parameters (pH and total acidity). These outcomes have shown that our vinegar samples are an excellent source of bioactive compounds with potent antioxidant and antibacterial potentials.

Formation of colored compounds caused by the interaction of α-ketoglutaric acid and tryptophan was followed spectrophotmetrically at 470 and 620 nm. It was found that the rate of formation of these colored compounds was effected by the concentration of α-ketoglutaric acid and/or tryptophan. High concentrations of both α-ketoglutaric acid and tryptophan caused the greatest concentration of such colored compounds, but singly, α-ketoglutaric acid concentration was more effective than that of tryptophan. The amount of colored compounds formed after storage at 75 F was not altered by processing, since both processed and unprocessed samples showed the same concentration after storage. The interaction mixtures stored at 38 F proceeded at very slow rates compared with those stored at 75 F. The results also indicated that individual effects caused by processing were overcome by storage at room temperature (75 F) since all samples were similar after storage.
