Question

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am not certain, however, let's look at this logically. Vinegar, especially the Apple Cider variety, is a preservative, it also alters acid and changes it to alkaline. Since an alkaline base does not destroy but builds, I would logically imagine that it would preserve the natural Allicin in garlic, not destroy it. This would make for a very interesting experiment.
