Fermentation is only limited by how much 'food' the microorganism that is driving the fermentation process has. Usually, the microorganism uses sugar, as long as they have a constant supply of food, the fermentation will continue.

What is the difference between granulated sugar and brewing sugar?

As far as I can make out brewing sugar is dextrose and ordinary granulated sugar is mainly sucrose. Apparently sucrose is a disaccharide and the dextrose is a monosaccharide. The yeast first has to use enzyme action to break up the sucrose molecules before it can ferment them to produce the alcohol so fermentation is quicker with dextrose. There are some reports of the fermentation being cleaner i.e. less residue during the fermentation but I cannot see how this works. Some people report a slight difference in taste.


What word means reacts with vinegar to produce new substances?

Well, my degree is in chemistry, and you've stumped me; I can't think of a single word that means specifically that something reacts with vinegar.Alcohols react with vinegar (and other carboxylic acids) to form esters, primary and secondary amines react with vinegar (and other carboxylic acids) to form amides, but as far as I know there is no specific word meaning "reacts with vinegar". Maybe the word "vinegar" is a clue; a chemist would call it "dilute acetic (or ethanoic) acid", so perhaps there's a term in cooking that means exactly what you asked ... though cooks tend not to focus so much on "reacts with".


Is phenolphthalein sensitive to temperature?

Phenolphthalein is not particularly sensitive to temperature. Its color change occurs over a specific pH range (8.2 to 10), and temperature does not greatly alter this pH range. However, extreme temperatures can affect the overall reaction rate in which phenolphthalein is involved.


Which best describes the light that plants transform into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis?

Plants transform sunlight, specifically photons, into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. This energy conversion occurs in specialized organelles called chloroplasts, where light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Can you speed up the drying process of pressure treated wood?

I'm looking for that answer too. From what i can tell so far, yes you can but other than some mentions of bleach applications and kiln drying it, I've not come up with the diy'ers methods of how yet :(

How is fermentation diffrent than aerobic respiration?

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen, while aerobic respiration is an aerobic process that generates ATP using oxygen. Fermentation produces lactic acid or alcohol as byproducts, while aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water. Fermentation is less efficient in terms of ATP production compared to aerobic respiration.

Why is oxygen required in human cells?

Oxygen is a vital part in the process of cellular respiration. Most cells can perform glycolysis and then fermentation to extract energy from sugars, but this process yields far more energy when there is oxygen present. When oxygen is present, mitochondria can utilize something called the electron transport chain that deposits excess hydrogens onto oxygen to create water, ultimately yielding nearly 20 times as much energy as glycolysis and fermentation alone.

How come you don't become intoxicated when you the bread if it uses alcoholic fermentation?

During alcoholic fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. However, the alcohol content in bread is significantly reduced during baking due to high temperatures, which evaporate most of the alcohol. As a result, the final product contains only trace amounts of alcohol, far too low to cause intoxication. Thus, eating bread does not lead to intoxication despite the fermentation process used in its production.
