Fermentation is a metabolic by which sugars turn to acids, gases, or alcohol using yeast or bacteria. The sugar molecules break down, and the energy generated from that reaction enable the other molecules to bind to new molecules, which creates the acids, gases, or alcohols depending on what the surrounding molecules are.

How does a fermentation crock water seal work to facilitate the fermentation process?

A fermentation crock water seal works by creating an airtight environment that allows carbon dioxide produced during fermentation to escape while preventing oxygen from entering. This helps to create the anaerobic conditions necessary for the growth of beneficial bacteria that facilitate the fermentation process.

2 types of fermentation?

Two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcohol fermentation is the process in which 2 pyruvate molecules ,created by the means of glycosis, is further broken down into 2 ethanol molecules through alcohol fermentation. Lactic-acid fermentation is when the pyruvate molecules formed from glycosis is reduced to 2 lactate molecules.

What Is The Scientific Discovery On Fermentation?

One key scientific discovery on fermentation is that it is a metabolic process in which microorganisms convert carbohydrates, such as sugars, into alcohol and gases in the absence of oxygen. This process is utilized in industries such as food production (e.g. bread, beer, and yogurt) and biofuel generation (e.g. ethanol). Louis Pasteur's work in the 19th century established the role of yeast in fermentation.
