What does yeast produce when oxygen is not present?

If you are asking about yeast/sugar reaction, the resulting product will be ethyl alcohol (ethanol) under anaerobic conditions (without oxygen), and will be acetic acid (vinegar) under aerobic (with oxygen) conditions.


What produce during fermentation?

Yeast "eats" sugar, producing alcohol and CO2 (carbon dioxide).


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.


What is the chemical action of yeast on sugars called?

The chemical action of yeast on sugars is called fermentation. Yeast breaks down the sugars in the presence of oxygen to produce energy for growth and reproduction, and in the absence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Fermentation.


Why does alcohol and CO2 production in yeast slow and stop?

The yeast feed on sugar/carbohydrates and their byproducts are Co2 and alcohol. Co2 is in its gaseous state and therefore bubbles out of the solution. Ethanol alcohol stays in the solution. Ethanol alcohol and Co2 are toxic to yeast just like humanities byproducts are toxic to us. So, when beginning a fermentation process the yeast begin feeding on the sugar or carbohydrates and because there is a large supply of food, the yeast population increases. The production of Co2 increases with increasing yeast population. The population of yeast reach a maximum and then their growth begins to be halted by a lack of nutrients and the amount of toxins (alcohol) in there world. The production slows and then stops when there is no more food for the yeast to eat on and/or the amount of alcohol has reached a level at which yeast cannot continue to live in.


What does alcoholic fermentation produce?

Carbon dioxide and alchohol:)


What is the job of yeast in beer brewing?

The yeast eats the fermentable sugars in the that are in the wort, the unfermented beer. When the yeast eats the sugars, it produces two things, alcohol and CO2. When this happens you have the carbonation that is in beer, along with the alcohol. Yeast + Glucose = Alcohol (Ethanol) + CO2
