The antimicrobial effect of the vinegar may change depending on raw material, production method and treatment time of the vinegar. In literature, antimicrobial effects of traditionally produced vinegars from different sources such as berry, wood, grape, apple, pomegranate, honey, blueberry, rice and industrially produced vinegars investigated. As a result, vinegars have antimicrobial effect on various gram negative and gram positive microorganisms.
