The process of fermentation in wine is the catalyst function that turns Grape Juice into an alcoholic beverage. During fermentation yeast interact with sugars in the juice to create ethanol, commonly known as ethyl alcohol, and carbon dioxide (as a by-product). In winemaking the temperature and speed of fermentation is an important consideration as well as the levels of oxygen present in the must at the start of the fermentation.

Fermentation in food processing typically refers to the conversion of sugar to alcohol using yeast under anaerobic conditions. A more general definition of fermentation is the chemical conversion of carbohydrates into alcohols or acids.

Fermentation is the process of deriving energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound.

What of ingredient stop the fermentation of fermented product?

The buildup of ethanol itself will eventually stop fermentation; the exact alcohol tolerance depends on the strain of yeast, but generally speaking fermenation stops somewhere between 13-18 percent ethanol.


What does latic acid fermenation convert into laticid acid?

Lactic acid fermentation converts pyruvate into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen levels are low, leading to the buildup of lactic acid and temporary muscle fatigue.
