It is also used as a germicide, beverage,
antifreeze, fuel, depressant and chemical intermediate. It can be made
by the fermentation process of material that contains sugar or from the
compound which can be converted to sugar. Yeast enzyme readily ferment
sucrose to ethanol.

firstly glucose and fructose are formed by fermentation reaction of molasses in presence of enzyme invertase
ethanol and carbon dioxide are formed by fermentation of this glucose or fructose in presence of enzyme zymase
Main reaction:
C12H22O11 + H2O → 2C6H12O6 ,with enzyme invertase.
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 -31.2 KCal ,with enzyme zymase.
