Answer:

Invertase and zymase are two enzymes found in yeast which is used to form ethyl alcohol from molasses.

Explanation:

Invertase and zymase are the  two enzymes that aid in the fermentation process that turns sugar into ethyl alcohol.

Fermentation:

  • A process of chemical degradation is carried out by microbial activity called fermentation.
  • Fermentation is  the process of obtaining energy from carbohydrates without the presence of oxygen.
  • Even in the production of ethyl alcohol from molasses, the enzymes invertase and zymase ferment the glucose to produce sucrose, which is then fermented further to produce ethyl alcohol. It is an example of fermentation.

Molasses Fermentation:

  • Through a biological process known as molasses fermentation, the sucrose in molasses is transformed into cellular energy, which ultimately results in the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide.
  • A suitable substrate for the generation of ethanol is provided by molasses from sugar or sugarcane.
  • The main product produced from molasses using anaerobic fermentations with microorganisms is ethanol  
  • The Carbon dioxide that will be used in the food preservation industry is released during this operation.
