Yeast itself causes fermentation, when added to a suitable mix, such as oats (beer), fruit (wines) or a flour mix (dough). This requires the addition of some moisture, warmth and perhaps a bit of sugar.

What happens is that yeast will grow (multiply) and this process releases various gasses and chemicals. This is what causes fruit to become alcoholic, and causes dough to rise so you can bake bread.

Fermentation can take place when making wine without yeast. As when the grapes used to make the wine are crushed, the skins of the grape release yeast, as they already contain it, ready to mix with the sugar from the juice of the actual grape. :)


Is it necessary to add yeast to alcoholic fermentation?

Fermentation of sugars to produce alcohol does require the presence of yeast, however, its not always necessary to add the yeast. For example, crushed grapes will start fermenting without addition of yeast because the skins contain natural wild yeast cells that will ferment. However, in order to make good wine, the grapes are usually sterilized and cultured yeasts developed especially for wine are added.

How do the products of fermentation in animals differ from yeast?

In animals, fermentation produces lactate or lactic acid as a byproduct, while in yeast, fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid fermentation does not produce energy as efficiently as ethanol fermentation, which is why animals primarily rely on it during high-intensity exercise when oxygen is limited. Fermentation in animals occurs in muscle cells, while yeast fermentation takes place in yeast cells.


What types of fermentation occurs in bacteria and yeast?
