The conditions for esterification of meat and wine are heating or normal temperature. Cook the meat can be esterified during cooking by adding cooking wine. Esterification will produce esters and water with unique fragrance, which is the result of the interaction between alcohols in cooking wine and acids such as vinegar or fatty acids in food.
Esterification is an organic chemical reaction, in which alcohol reacts with carboxylic acid or oxygen-containing inorganic acid to produce ester and water, usually at room temperature or under heating conditions, and a catalyst is added. The esterification reaction is usually reversible. Typical esterification reaction includes the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate with aromatic smell, which is the raw material for making dyes and drugs. Esterification is widely used in organic synthesis and other fields.
