The powder the man added must contain yeast. Yeasts are the microorganisms capable of secreting such enzymes which converts simple carbohydrates like glucose into alcohol and produce carbon dioxide.
YEAST
C₆H₁₂O₆ --------------------------> 2 C₂H₅OH + 2 CO₂
Glucose(aq) Ethanol(aq) Carbon dioxide
This is why Yeasts are used in large scale alcohol fermentation.
