The reactions of glycolysis are identical to those described up to the production of pyruvic acid. The difference is in the fate of pyruvic acid. In fermentation, pyruvic acid is converted first to ethanal (acetaldehyde) and then to ethanol. Again, the NADH from Step 5 is converted back to NAD+ in this process.

Pyruvic acid (the final product of Glycolysis) under aerobic conditions (in Eukaryotes) is oxidised to CO2, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), and NADH2 and FADH2 (which are further oxidised to release energy).
