Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids and gases, or alcohol. In other words, it is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
Alcoholic beverages are fermentation products of yeasts. The reaction by which alcoholic beverages are produced is generally referred to as fermentation and may be summarized as:
Yeast + Glucose = Alcohol (Ethanol) + CO2

Answer Fermentation naturally occurs in yeast and some bacteria. Alcohol is commercially produced by using yeast. During fermentation, sugar is anaerobically converted into ethanol, water, and carbon dioxide. Louis Pasteur first worked on the living identity of yeast and its capability to convert fruit sugar into alcohol (alcoholic fermentation).
