Question

1) Explain the term fermentation

Answer 1

1. Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. The science of fermentation is known as zymology.

2. In general, the longer that fermentation goes on, the more sugar is converted into alcohol, resulting in a less sweet (or “drier”) and more alcoholic beverage. To produce beer, various grains are used instead of grapes as the source of sugars. ... This drying process converts the starches present in grain into sugars

Answer 2

Answer:

1.) 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, a process at least 10,000 years old.
