  2. Fermentation - Wikipedia

    In ethanol fermentation, one glucose molecule is converted into two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide (CO 2) molecules. [11] [12] It is used to make bread dough rise: the carbon dioxide forms bubbles, expanding the dough into a foam. [13] [14] The ethanol is the intoxicating agent in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer and liquor. [15]

  3. Diacetyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacetyl

    Diacetyl (/ d aɪ j ə ˈ s iː t ə l / dy-yuh-SEE-tuhl; IUPAC systematic name: butanedione or butane-2,3-dione) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 CO) 2. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone (two C=O groups, side-by-side).

  4. Ethanol fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fermentation

    A laboratory vessel being used for the fermentation of straw Fermentation of sucrose by yeast. The chemical equations below summarize the fermentation of sucrose (C 12 H 22 O 11) into ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH). Alcoholic fermentation converts one mole of glucose into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide, producing two moles of ATP in ...

  5. Cocoa bean fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_bean_fermentation

    Cotyledon contain two major types of cells, storage cells and pigment cells. It is within the cotyledon that flavor precursors develop during fermentation, after the bean is germinated and is then killed. In germination, the protein vacuoles within the storage cells take on water. As the cell dies, and the cell walls and membranes deteriorate ...

  6. Lactic acid fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acid_fermentation

    It is an anaerobic fermentation reaction that occurs in some bacteria and animal cells, such as muscle cells. [1] [2] [3] [page needed] If oxygen is present in the cell, many organisms will bypass fermentation and undergo cellular respiration; however, facultative anaerobic organisms will both ferment and undergo respiration in the presence of ...

  7. Acetic acid bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid_bacteria

    Specific oxidation reactions occur through oxidative fermentation, which creates vinegar as a byproduct. In the biotechnological industry, these bacteria's oxidation mechanism is exploited to produce a number of compounds such as l-ascorbic acid, dihydroxyacetone, gluconic acid, and cellulose. [4]

  8. Mixed acid fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_acid_fermentation

    Mixed acid fermentation in E. coli occurs in two stages. These stages are outlined by the biological database for E. coli, EcoCyc. [1] The first of these two stages is a glycolysis reaction. Under anaerobic conditions, a glycolysis reaction takes place where glucose is converted into pyruvate: glucose → 2 pyruvate

  9. Acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone–butanol–ethanol...

    In 1910 Auguste Fernbach (1860–1939) developed a bacterial fermentation process using potato starch as a feedstock in the production of butanol. [6] Industrial exploitation of ABE fermentation started in 1916, during World War I, with Chaim Weizmann's isolation of Clostridium acetobutylicum, as described in U.S. patent 1315585. [7]
