Question

What happens during fermentation explain briefly. ​

Answer 1

$\huge \mathcal \colorbox{lightgreen}{ answer}$

During fermentation, the sugar breaks down to form an alcohol and carbon dioxide is released. Due to the release of carbon dioxide gas, the dough rises . On baking, the gas releases leaves pores behind.

DEFINITION:

"Any metabolic process that releases energy from a sugar or other organic molecule, does not require oxygen or an electron transport system, and uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor".

FERMENTATION :

• Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes.
• In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.
• In food production, it may more broadly refer to any process in which the activity of microorganisms brings about a desirable change to a foodstuff or beverage.
• The science of fermentation is known as zymology.
• In microorganisms, fermentation is the primary means of producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the degradation of organic nutrients anaerobically.

EXAMPLE:

• The word equation for fermentation is: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
• Humans have used fermentation to produce foodstuffs and beverages since the Neolithic age.
• For example, fermentation is used for preservation in a process that produces lactic acid found in such sour foods as pickled cucumbers, kombucha, kimchi, and yogurt, as well as for producing alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer.
• Fermentation also occurs within the gastrointestinal tracts of all animals, including humans.
