How is fermentation useful for food and beverage industry
Answers
Answer:
An anaerobic process through which sugar/carbohydrates are converted into alcohol/acids and carbon dioxide, is known as fermentation. It is useful in food and beverage industries because microorganisms like yeast when added in food items make the food fluffy and increases the volume.
Answer:
Fermentation is the process of anaerobic respiration for example in yeast where food material is broken down in the absence of hydrogen to release ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy.
In the baking industry, yeast is used. Sugar is added as food material and when fermentation occurs, carbon dioxide is released which helps to create air bubbles to make the bread fluffy.
Similarly, if instead of sugar grapes are used as food material, alcohol may be made.
