What is the mother in ACV & what is its role?

Satopradhan’s Apple Cider Vinegar is 100% unfiltered, meaning that it has the ‘mother’ which refers to the colonies of beneficial bacteria that have not been filtered. This culture of beneficial bacteria transforms apple cider into vinegar. Each bottle contains enough of this friendly bacteria. The vinegar bottles generally found in the market are filtered to make them clearer. Mother in ACV is formed when fermentation takes place in apple juice. Unpasteurized or organic cider vinegar contains “mother” strands of proteins, enzymes, and bacteria which gives apple cider vinegar a cloudy appearance. 
​
The role of the mother in ACV is significant:

1. Fermentation: The mother is a sign of the natural fermentation process of ACV. During fermentation, sugars from crushed apples are converted into acetic acid and other organic compounds by acetic acid bacteria. The presence of the mother indicates that the vinegar is still in its raw, unprocessed state.

2. Nutrition: The mother contains strands of proteins, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria. These components contribute to the nutritional value of ACV. Some of the potential benefits associated with the mother include improved digestion, better gut health, and enhanced nutrient absorption.

3. Flavor & Aroma: The mother can influence the taste and aroma of the vinegar, giving it a slightly milder and less acidic flavor compared to heavily processed and filtered vinegars.
