Answer 2

Fermentation is a metabolic process in which glucose is broken down to release energy even in the absence of oxygen. It is also called Anaerobic Respiration. It converts carbohydrates into alcohol and acids. Zymology is the study of fermentation. It occurs in the muscles of animals, yeast and bacteria.

Advantages of Fermentation are:-

• Lactose is converted into lactic acid by the use of Lactic acid fermentation for yoghurt production.
• When tissue in an animal's muscles requires a faster rate of energy when oxygen supply is less in the body then the lactic acid breaks glucose to release energy.
• Fermentation performed by yeast converts sugar into alcohol. This is useful in the beer and wine industries.
• Fermentation by intestinal bacteria helps in the digestive system of animals by breaking down food in the intestine.
• Sludge fermentation breaks down biodegradable substances in the absence of oxygen which helps in sewage treatment.

Disadvantages of Fermentation are:- to

• In gut fermentation syndrome fermentation in the human digestive tract leads to intoxication by ethanol production.
• There are possibility of fermented food to get contaminated by bacteria and cause sickness.
• Histamine in fermented food are plenty. Histamine intolerance causes severe symptoms like asthma, low blood pressure, dizziness and sleep disorders.
• When sanitation is not proper the e.coli and salmonella are formed due to fermentation.
• Histamine in fermented food causes bloating and migraines to many people who are histamine intolerant.
