In ethanol fermentation, one glucose molecule is converted into two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide (CO 2) molecules. [10] [11] It is used to make bread dough rise: the carbon dioxide forms bubbles, expanding the dough into a foam. [12] [13] The ethanol is the intoxicating agent in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer and liquor. [14]
