Question

Hey does sugar solution with yeast powder become alcoholic? Full paragraph answer.

Answer 1

Yes, sugar solution with yeast powder becomes alcoholic.

This happens because of a process called 'fermentation'. This occurs commonly in yeasts and bacteria. It is a metabolic process that converts sugar (starch) into carbon dioxide, methane and alcohol (mainly) in the absence of oxygen. So when you are mixing yeast with sugar solution, you are basically feeding the yeast, which gives out the byproduct alcohol. This is used in the wine industry as well.
