Answer:

Many people know Louis Pasteur for the process that bears his name—pasteurization. However, Pasteur made several other very important contributions to science that we should know about.

Explanation:

1. Molecular asymmetry

In studying crystals of sodium ammonium tartrate, Pasteur found that although they had the same chemical composition, they did not necessarily have the same structure. He noted that the molecules occurred in two mirror-image arrangements that could not be superimposed. This molecular asymmetry, or chirality, is the foundation of a branch of science known as stereochemistry. It had huge implications for how we now understand such things as DNA; the chirality of molecules can even affect how medication is absorbed in the body.

2. Fermentation

In the mid-1850s, Pasteur undertook a series of studies on alcoholic fermentation at a local distillery. He learned about many aspects of fermentation, including the compounds that cause milk to sour. In 1857 he presented evidence that all fermentation is caused by microorganisms and that specific microorganisms cause specific kinds of fermentation.

3. Pasteurization

Using his work with fermentation, Pasteur was able to devise a process, now known as pasteurization, to kill microbes and preserve certain products. Pasteurization prevents fermenting and spoilage in beer, milk, and other goods

And there are many more

Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist considered the most important founders of Microbiology.
Microbiology developed as a scientific discipline from the era of Louis Pasteur (1822- 1895) himself.
He first coined the term “microbiology” for the study of organisms of microscopic size. For his innumerable contributions in the field, he is also known as the Father of Microbiology.
He is renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization.
He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of diseases.
He is regarded as one of the three main founders of bacteriology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch.
Pasteur’s academic positions were numerous, and his scientific accomplishments earned him France’s highest decoration, the Legion of Honor, as well as election to the Académie des Sciences and many other distinctions.
Today there are some 30 institutes and an impressive number of hospitals, schools, buildings, and streets that bear his name- a set of honors bestowed on few scientists.
