James Busby - Spain and France to study viticulture. In March 1832 he was appointed to the position of 'First British Resident' of New Zealand and went to the Bay of Islands, taking with him some of the vine stock he had collected in Europe. A house was completed for him at Waitangi where he planted grape vines from which wine was being made before his vines were productive in Australia. (Long before Busby arrived at Waitangi, missionary Samuel Marsden had already planted vines at nearby Kerikeri, on September 25 1819).

Vitamin C - century, the Polish American scientist Casimir Funk conducted research into deficiency diseases and in 1912 formulated the concept of vitamins, for the elements in food which are essential to health. Then, from 1928 to 1933, the Hungarian research team of Joseph L Svirbely and Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, and independently the American Charles Glen King, first isolated vitamin C and showed it to be ascorbic acid. In 1933/1934, the British chemists Sir Walter Norman Haworth and Sir Edmund Hirst, and independently the Polish Tadeus Reichstein, succeeded in synthesizing the vitamin, the first to be artificially produced. This made possible the cheap mass production of vitamin C. Haworth was awarded the 1937 Nobel Prize for Chemistry largely for this work. In 1959 the American J.J.

Vinegar - barley, causing the starch in the grain to turn to sugar. An ale is then brewed from the sugar and allowed to turn into vinegar, which is then aged. A cheaper alternative, called 'non-brewed condiment', is a solution of 4-8% acetic acid coloured with caramel. White vinegar can be made by distilling malt vinegar, or may be nothing more than a solution of acetic acid in water. Italian balsamic vinegar, made around Modena in Italy from white Trebbiano grape juice, is used in salad dressings, ice cream, marinades and drinking. It is aged for several years in wooden barrels to give it a dark color and sweet flavour. The Japanese prefer a more delicate rice vinegar and use it for much the same purposes as Europeans. Vinegar is a folk medicine.
