Vinegar has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, but why does smelling vinegar not work for

The common cold, according to Chinese medicine"Cold", is a common respiratory disease caused by a variety of viruses, of which 30% to 50% are caused by a serotype of rhinovirus. The virus that causes colds is not exactly the same in different seasons.

Epidemic is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. The virus is present in the respiratory tract of a sick person and is transmitted to others through droplets when a sick person coughs or sneezes. Viral infection causes host cell degeneration, necrosis, and even shedding, resulting in mucosal congestion, edema, and increased secretions, resulting in nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, and other symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, and when the virus spreads to the lower respiratory tract, it may cause bronchiolitis and interstitial pneumonia.

Viruses can cause secondary bacterial infections due to the decline of the body's immunity.

There is indeed a saying that vinegar can disinfect, sterilize and prevent colds in folk home remedies, but disinfection experts have long done experiments to prove that vinegar cannot kill viruses.

This originates from the oxidation of acids (all acids have hydrogen ions in them, which can get electrons, which is chemically called "oxidation"). Many of the chemicals with strong oxidizing properties have a disinfecting effect, such as hydrogen peroxide, 84 disinfectant and sodium hypochlorite. So, in layman's terms, the chemical mechanism of disinfection is that strong oxidizing chemicals destroy the structure of the virus and let the virus die.

However, vinegar is a weak acid, although it also has a certain oxidation, but the oxidation is very weak, so weak that the tongue and esophagus will hardly be damaged when we drink it directly (strong oxidizing sulfuric acid, it will corrode when contacted**), if the vinegar is diluted into the air, because of the decrease in concentration, its oxidation ability to the virus is weaker, so vinegar can not kill the virus.

In terms of microscopic mechanism, the growth of viruses mainly depends on the catalytic action of enzyme systems such as ribonucleases, which in turn are controlled by pH. The pH value of the general virus growth environment is 5 -6 table vinegar, and some people think that the concentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions is enough to control the growth of all influenza viruses - however, the premise is that all viruses are put in liquid vinegar, and when the vinegar is volatilized into the air, the concentration is reduced by at least 1000 times, and its overall average pH value is close to 7, which is unable to inhibit the growth of viruses.

At the same time, because the virus is a microscopic object with a small size, it is also difficult for it to hit the small droplets of volatile vinegar in the air, so the overall probability of collision is very low, just like two planes in the sky, it is more difficult to collide with each other. From this point of view, it can also be proved that burnt vinegar is not lethal to the virus.

If vinegar can't kill the virus that causes colds, it can't prevent colds. For families, the best way to prevent colds is to ventilate (in the absence of smog). Smelling vinegar not only can't kill the virus, but also the concentration of vinegar in the air is too high, and if the human body inhales it for too long, it will cause symptoms such as dyspnea and nausea, and cause damage to the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.

There is indeed a saying that vinegar can disinfect, sterilize and prevent colds in folk remedies, but disinfection experts have long done experiments to prove that vinegar cannot kill viruses.

Vinegar has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and it must have a certain concentration and a certain time, and it cannot be disinfected if it does not meet this requirement.

Because in order for the vinegar to fully exert its effect, it takes enough time and a certain concentration.

Because it is difficult to achieve a certain effect by simply smelling vinegar. There are a lot of conditions that need to be met to do so.

Because vinegar is volatile, it is not very useful for colds.

Because just smelling it certainly won't work, and you have to take some cold medicine.

Because some colds are not caused by viruses, they are caused by heat, wind and cold.

Because colds are germs in the body, vinegar cannot enter the body.

Does smelling vinegar prevent colds What are the benefits and disadvantages.

Vinegar can be sterilized, and the bactericidal effect is very strong, acetic acid can change the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane, destroy its metabolic enzymes to play a bactericidal role, to a certain extent, can inhibit the growth of bacteria.

High-concentration vinegar has a sterilization effect, while old vinegar or white vinegar used in daily life is a weakly acidic substance and does not have a sterilization effect. Suggestion: If you want to eliminate bacteria in the room, you need to open the windows for ventilation in time, use ultraviolet light to sterilize if necessary, and improve your immunity to avoid bacterial attack.

Because vinegar contains acetic acid, and acetic acid is a good disinfectant, it can pass through the cell membrane of bacteria, kill some bacteria including Salmonella, E. coli, and can also deodorize and remove oil.

Because vinegar contains acetic acid, acetic acid can play a certain role in sterilization and disinfection.

Because the main ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid, acetic acid has a bactericidal effect, so it is said that vinegar has a bactericidal effect.

Reason: The main ingredient of vinegar is acetic acid, which has a good antibacterial and bactericidal effect. Pathogenic bacteria are not easy to survive in an acidic environment, such as group A streptococcus, influenza virus and other common pathogenic bacteria can be inhibited or killed in an acidic environment, so vinegar has a certain prevention and control effect on respiratory diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that vinegar tastes bitter and sour, has a warm nature, and has the effects of invigorating blood and dissipating stasis, eliminating food and accumulation, reducing swelling and softness. Modern studies have shown that vinegar is rich in organic acids, which have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on at least 8 kinds of harmful microorganisms.

Adding a little vinegar when eating cold vegetables or stir-frying vegetables not only tastes more delicious, but also plays a role in sterilization and disinfection, which can effectively avoid the infection of gastrointestinal bacteria.

Vinegar has acid and can sterilize. But not all bacteria can be killed. It can only kill small bacteria.

1. Introduction to vinegar.

1. Vinegar is a traditional condiment in major Chinese cuisines. According to the existing written records, the ancient Han working people used koji as a starter to ferment vinegar, oriental vinegar originated in China, and the history of vinegar brewing according to literature is at least more than 3,000 years.

2. China's famous vinegars include Guangling Dengbao Vinegar, Qishan Vinegar, Shanxi Old Aged Vinegar, Baoning Vinegar, Zhenjiang Balsamic Vinegar, Tianjin Duliu Old Vinegar, Fujian Yongchun Old Vinegar, Henan Old Turtle Yite Vinegar and Red Yeast Rice Vinegar and Original Balsamic Vinegar.

2. Classification of vinegar.

1. Brown rice vinegar.

Brown rice before bleaching is used as a raw material, which contains amino acids and has a delicious taste, so you can add honey or juice to drink.

2. Glutinous rice vinegar.

Brewed naturally, it contains amino acids, vitamins, acetic acid and organic acids and other nutrients, with a luscious taste and healthy effect.

3. Wheat vinegar.

Generally, rice is used in the south and sorghum is used in the north, while Henan old turtle vinegar uses wheat as the main material, which is rare in the national vinegar industry.

4. Rice vinegar. Rice vinegar is made using white rice; It is formed by the most primitive handmade brewing process of the people. The taste is pure, and it has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of heat stroke. And it also has a very good effect on regulating the stomach and intestines. This craft is widely spread among the people of Taojiang, Hunan.

3. Vinegar selection skills.

1. Look at the label.

According to the requirements of the national standard, the content of total acid should be indicated on the label of vinegar products. The total acid content is a characteristic indicator of vinegar products, and the higher the content, the stronger the acidity of the vinegar. Generally speaking, the total acid content of vinegar should be.

2. Look at the color and posture.

Brewed vinegar has an amber or reddish-brown color, and the shiny one is preferred. The body is clear, the concentration is appropriate, and the product quality without suspended solids and precipitation is better.

3. Smell the aroma and taste the taste.

Good vinegar should have the unique aroma and ester aroma of vinegar, and should not have a bad smell. The sour taste is soft, the aftertaste is long, mellow, not astringent, and there is no peculiar smell.
