Fermentation: Processes and Applications
Goodman, Jeffery
Fermentation is a metabolic process in which organisms anaerobically convert starch or sugar to alcohol or an acid releasing energy. The process of fermentation is catalyzed with the help of enzymes. The science of fermentation is known as zymology. The first process of fermentation is the same as cellular respiration, which involves the formation of pyruvic acid by glycolysis where a total of two ATP molecules are synthesized. In the next pro...
