The main ingredient in the edible vinegar is acetic acid (the content of acetic acid is more than 3.5%). The edible vinegar also contains a few other organic acids. According to national hygienic standard, free mineral acid (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and other inorganic acid and oxalic acid) should not be detectable. The vinegar which is made up of unedible acid or contaminated contains free mineral acid and it would cause indigestion and diarrhea. Long-term consumption of the unqualified vinegar is severely harmful for the health of human beings. National standard GB/T5009.41 provides two methods to test the free mineral acid of edible vinegar. They are thymol blue test paper and methyl violet test paper.
1. Using method and results
1.1 Thymol blue test paper (yellow color)
1.1.1Take a piece of thymol blue test paper, uncover the film on the surface, use a capillary tube or a glass rod to dip a little detected sample onto the test paper, then observe the color.

It is negative results that there is not any purple spots or no purple circles (yellow or white inside the circles) on the test paper. Don’t observe the color variation until the test paper is a little dry when detecting the white vinegar.
