Natural sugars usually ferment faster in yeast than artificial sugars because they contain a more balanced ratio of glucose and fructose, which are easily metabolized by the yeast. Artificial sugars, on the other hand, may be more difficult for yeast to ferment due to their chemical composition.
Equal (aspartame) and Splenda (sucralose) are artificial sweeteners that do not significantly contribute to yeast respiration because they are not fermentable sugars. Yeast primarily utilizes sugars like glucose for energy through fermentation, leading to carbon dioxide and ethanol production. Since Equal and Splenda do not provide the necessary energy substrates, they generally do not support yeast growth or respiration effectively. Consequently, their presence may not have a substantial impact on yeast metabolism compared to natural sugars.
sucrose
No, yeast requires sugar to ferment and produce alcohol. Distilled water does not contain any sugars, so yeast would not be able to ferment it.
Yes it does.
Any fruit, soft plants, etc, can ferment without yeast, as there are wild-yeasts and moulds everywhere.
Brewer's yeast.
then the yeast dies and the brew won't ferment.
Yeast
Yeast was used to ferment wine beer and vinegar.
Yes, lemonade can ferment into alcohol if yeast is added to the mixture. Yeast consumes the sugars in the lemonade and produces alcohol as a byproduct through the process of fermentation.
If you leave a sugar-yeast-water mixture to ferment for too long of a time the gluten will lose elasticity.
