What makes alcohol in alcoholic beverages?
Yeast eating sugars and excreting waste. Alcohol is yeast waste.
Is ethanol the main ingredient in alcoholic beverages?
yes,ethanol is the main ingredient in alchol.Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is the main ingredient in alcoholic beverages. Ethanol is an alcohol produced by fermenting sugar with yeast. It is the compound responsible for the intoxicating effect of alcoholic beverages. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars from various sources such as grains, fruits or vegetables into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The alcohol content in drinks is usually measured as a volume percentage of ethanol. In addition to ethanol, alcoholic beverages can contain many other compounds that contribute to flavor, color, and aroma, depending on the specific beverage and the manufacturing process. However, ethanol is the main psychoactive substance responsible for the effects associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
What fermentation is the process is when yeast breaks down sugars and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol?
i don't know if i knew i wouldn't come to this website
Why is a distillery called a distillery?
its where they make whiskey. distilling it is the process of purifying it. and i'm just guessing!
What is ethanol and where does it come from?
Ethanol is ethyl alcohol also known as grain alcohol. It is a psychoactive drug usually found in alcoholic beverages. It is made by "fermenting" the sugars present in starchy crops (such as corn, potatoes, bananas etc), sugar producing crops (such as fruit (grapes etc), sugar beat or sugarcane), or cellulosic plants (like trees or wild grasses). The process of "fermentation" is done in a solution of the sugars by a fungus called "yeast" which, when there is no oxygen present, turns the sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Pure ethanol then has to be separated out of solution by a process called distillation.
What is the mode of reproduction of yeast?
Yeasts can break down sugars completely in an aerobic process or in an anaerobic process called glycolysis where the end product is alcoholic acid (wine and Beer) www.answers.com
Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?
Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.
Is there any chemical reaction in alcoholic drink?
Alcoholic drink is a mixture which includes ethanol. The fermentation process which involves the chemical change of sugars into alcohol by yeasts is usually complete by the time the alcoholic drink is sold.
What is alcoholic fermentation?
the anaerobic process by which yeasts and other microorganisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethanol
What is the process of plants making sugars called?
