The primary benefit of fermentation is the conversion of sugars and other carbohydrates, e.g., converting juice into wine, grains into beer, carbohydrates into carbon dioxide to leaven bread, and sugars in vegetables into preservative organic acids.
Food fermentation has been said to serve five main purposes:
Enrichment of the diet through development of a diversity of flavors, aromas, and textures in food substrates
Preservation of substantial amounts of food through lactic acid, alcohol, acetic acid and alkaline fermentations
Biological enrichment of food substrates with protein, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, and vitamins
Elimination of antinutrients
A decrease in cooking times and fuel requirements

How can i explain the process of fermentation?
Fermentation is a process that converts sugar to acids, gases or alcohol. In yeast the fermentation process is carried our in beers, wines and other alcohol.
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 relationship between glycolysis and fermentation?
The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links). However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol). * This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.
How do the two types of fermentation differ?
Aerobic fermentation occurs in an environment that contains air. Anaerobic fermentation occurs in one lacking air.
In fermentation cells release energy without what?
in fermentation, cells release energy without
What anaerobic organism uses fermentation to convert energy?
Anaerobes all use fermentation.
What are two old uses for fermentation?
There are a large number of fermentation processes that are very old. For example, Cheese, Beer, Wine (mead), Bread, Yogurt, and Vinegar are all formed through fermentation and all of these products have been around for a very long time.
How is cellular respiration and fermentation different?
Respiration uses oxygen, while fermentation does not use oxygen.
Differences between fermentation and respiration?
one uses oxygen to get energy and the other uses yeast!Fermentation does not need oxygen. Aerobic respiration need oxygen
What is a organism that makes its own food through fermentation?
Chuck Norris does not use fermentation. He uses awesomenation.
What are two oldest uses of fermentation?
Making bread and beer.
What unicellular organism uses alcoholic fermentation?
Your ma
What are facts about fermentation?
it uses yeast, there is lactos and alcohol as the main 2
What limits how far the process of the fermentation will go the process steps?
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 main difference between respiration and fermentation?
respiration uses oxygen
What is the difference between respiration to fermentation?
Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation doesn't.
Does mixed acid fermentation occur in all bacteria?
No, some bacteria go through mixed acid fermentation, so go through 2,3 butanediol fermentation and some do not go through fermentation at all.
