Making healthy drinks with vinegar first originated in Vermont in the northeastern United States. The local people used to drink a drink made of two tablespoons of vinegar and two tablespoons of honey every morning. Almost everyone here is the birthday girl. Because the longevity of Vermont people is widely known, vinegar drinks have become popular in Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Japanese people are most interested in vinegar drinks, and regard more vinegar and less salt as one of the "ten trainings" for health and longevity.
In the mid-1980s, Japan developed and produced 150 kinds of health vinegar. At present, there are more than 200 kinds of health vinegar. Most people mention that vinegar has health care function. However, the development of other types of health vinegar with more complete efficacy is not much. Adding fruit juice and functional factors is a good development idea. There are many functional factors to choose from, such as amino acids, vitamins, oligosaccharides, beneficial bacteria, dietary fiber and so on. These functional factors have been well utilized in various health foods, especially oligosaccharides.
Isomaltooligosaccharide has been recognized all over the world in improving the micro-ecological environment and adjusting the structure of human flora. Its effects of killing virus, inhibiting harmful bacteria, expelling toxin and caring skin are the same as those of vinegar. If isomaltooligosaccharide is used in health vinegar, the efficacy of health vinegar in disinfection and bacteriostasis, optimization of human flora, detoxification and beauty, and improvement of immunity will be more perfect and obvious. Developing health vinegar with isomaltooligosaccharide will make health vinegar stronger.
Second, functional snack food.
