Everything about Pyroligneous Acid totally explained
Pyroligneous acid, also called
wood vinegar, is a dark liquid produced by the destructive
distillation of
wood. Its principal components are
acetic acid and
methanol. It was once used as a commercial source for acetic acid.
Recently, it has been promoted as a
natural aid for various uses including
detoxification, mild
pain relief, and to
sterilize and promote healing of minor
wounds. These claims may be of questionable value.
During the
United States Civil War, cooks in the
Confederate States of America tried to make up for an increasing deficiency in salt by preserving meat and fish in pyroligneous acid, which wasn't very effective (Kurlansky 2002, p. 267-68).
