Why does alcohol and CO2 production in yeast slow and stop?

The yeast feed on sugar/carbohydrates and their byproducts are Co2 and alcohol. Co2 is in its gaseous state and therefore bubbles out of the solution. Ethanol alcohol stays in the solution. Ethanol alcohol and Co2 are toxic to yeast just like humanities byproducts are toxic to us. So, when beginning a fermentation process the yeast begin feeding on the sugar or carbohydrates and because there is a large supply of food, the yeast population increases. The production of Co2 increases with increasing yeast population. The population of yeast reach a maximum and then their growth begins to be halted by a lack of nutrients and the amount of toxins (alcohol) in there world. The production slows and then stops when there is no more food for the yeast to eat on and/or the amount of alcohol has reached a level at which yeast cannot continue to live in.

Why absolute alcohal cannot be prepared by fermentation process?

Absolute alcohol, or pure ethanol (100% alcohol by volume), cannot be prepared by fermentation alone because typical yeast fermentation can only produce alcohol concentrations of up to around 15%. To achieve higher concentrations of alcohol, additional processes such as distillation or molecular sieves are necessary to remove water and impurities from the ethanol produced during fermentation.


What is the highest amount of alcohol you can get through fermentation alone?

The highest alcohol content achievable through fermentation alone is around 15-20% ABV (alcohol by volume), depending on the yeast strain used and the conditions of fermentation. Above this level, the alcohol becomes toxic to the yeast and fermentation stops. To create higher alcohol products such as spirits, additional processes like distillation are required.

Is bread alchoholic?

Sort of!!! The stomach , supplied with carbohydrates, yeast and sugar, provides the correct atmosphere for fermentation. This combination is used for making alcohol, therefore, the stomach 'gut brews' alcohol. Apparently, this can be toxic and could explain why people feel lethargic and tired after eating bread. Bread, in and as of itself, is not alcoholic. Alcohol is not produced during the manufacturing process and none resides in the end product. While carbohydrates, yeast and sugar can make for alcohol, the acidic environment of the stomach breaks down these components fairly quickly, and the stomach empties itself well before the time needed for fermentation of alcohol. Ruminants, such as cattle, with multi-chambered stomachs, can be prone to such in situfermentation when they ingest sweet fruits such as apples, but humans should have no fear of such effects.
