Explanation:
Fermentation is the process of converting carbohydrates to alcohol or to organic acids using microorganisms, such as yeasts or bacteria. This process takes place when there are beneficial bacteria present that break down the starch and sugars in the food.
This process is used in the preparation of alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. Beer is produced by the fermentation of sugar in germinating barley and wine is prepared by fermentation of sugar in grapes.
