During alcoholic fermentation sugars are converted into energy by yeast, Ethanol (drinking alcohol) and CO2 are produced as waste products in this reaction. Here is the chemical equation for the fermentation of the simple sugar glucose: C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2.

C6H12O6 being glucose, C2H5OH being ethanol, and CO2 being carbon dioxide.

What happens to pyruvate during alcohol fermentation?

During alcohol fermentation, pyruvate, produced from glycolysis, is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This process occurs in anaerobic conditions, where the pyruvate is first decarboxylated to form acetaldehyde, which is then reduced to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. This conversion regenerates NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue and produce ATP in the absence of oxygen.
