What it is
Dried malt vinegar is a type of vinegar made from malted barley. The barley is germinated, dried, and then fermented to produce maltose, which is then fermented into acetic acid. It has a milder flavor than white vinegar and a light brown color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dried malt vinegar as a flavoring agent and preservative. Its tangy, slightly sweet taste makes it a popular ingredient in chips, pretzels, and other savory snacks. It is also used in some baked goods and sauces.
Health notes
Dried malt vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other vinegars, it is acidic. There are no specific health concerns associated with typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vinegar and its components, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for its use as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Dried malt vinegar is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
