A pickle is a sour cucumber that has been fermented in a brine solution. Other spices are usually included so that the overall mixture tastes good. Chili and mangoes are also common additions to the pickles.

What microorganisms are used for pickles?
Hydrochloric
What will happen if pickling fermentation is shortened?
fermentation, chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically. More broadly, fermentation is the foaming that occurs during the manufacture of wine and beer,
Is kimchi made of picked cabbage?
No, pickling is a type of seasoning. These seasonings are not used in kimchi. Kimchi is made through fermentation.
Does pickled onions have acid?
Yes, the process of pickling always uses acids. Sometimes the acid is added (e.g. vinegar in most types of pickling) sometimes it is produced by bacterial fermentation in situ (e.g. lactic acid in sauerkraut).
What does the vinegar means?
Vinegar is produced by acetic acid producing bacteria during the fermentation of wine, cider, or beer, and is used as a condiment or for pickling.
Why are the vedgetables packed down weights in the jar in fermentation and pickling?
The vegetables must be completely covered with the pickling mixture otherwise they will not be preserved adequately (otherwise they will rot/mould/become inedible). That is why they are packed down in the jars; to ensure they are covered with the liquid.
What will happen if utensils used for fermentation and pickling are made of aluminum?
They disintegrate, the aluminum is sent into a chemical reaction separating it's molecules and breaking them down

Can you use diluted 35 percent vinegar essence in place of spirit vinegar for pickling?
Oh goodness, I don't think I would do that if I were you. Vinegar is very important in the pickling process, its critical. Vinegar determines the pH of the pickling solution, the relative acidity of which affects whether bacteria in the food and solution are killed, affect the fermentation process, and the ultimate taste. You could well do all that work and end up with something that doesn't taste good, or worse, that could be dangerous for you to eat.
What is acid pickling?
Acid pickling means pickle the acid.
What is the process of soaking and storing food in brine?
pickling
What is used for pickle preservatives?
Pickling is achieved by a process of anaerobic fermentation in brine (a solution of salt in water) to produce lactic acid, or marinating and storing it in an acid solution, usually vinegar (acetic acid).
