Fermentation Flashcards
What year was the beginning of industrial fermentation to produce a useful product other
than alcohol?
1890
In 1892, _____ is being used as an octane booster for gasoline, and a small amount is
being consumed as gasohol.
Ethanol
It has undergone microbial fermentation, from several months to many years.
Tea Leaves
The discovery of antibiotics, such as penicillin, set the stage for the great technological
advances in controlling microbiological processes that are commonly used today.
World War II
Are large vessels used for boiling and mashing ingredients in beer production.
Brew Kettle
It is used to sterilize the incoming fluids or the containment of microorganisms from
being released to the surrounding environment from the fermenter.
Filters
It is produced by Acetobacter bacteria during the fermentation of ethanol.
Acetic Alcohol
It is used to keep the fermentation vessel more sterile by preventing unwanted fungus or
bacteria from contaminating the batch.
Airlocks
A set of procedures and measurements established to meet the specifications of a given
product and/or process.
Temperature Control
It is one of the most versatile organic acids. Its major use is as an acidulant in carbonated
beverages, jams, jellies, and other foodstuffs.
Citric Alcohol
He showed that fermentation is directly caused by the life processes of minute organisms.
Louis Pasteur
It refers to microorganisms on the surface of minor grains or artificially inoculated
beneficial microorganisms.
Grains
It is to regulate the ingredients that go into a bioreactor.
Pumps
It is also known as “anhydrous alcohol” was formerly made by absorbing the 4 to 5%
water present in 95 to 96% industrial alcohol using quicklime, with subsequent
distillation.
Absolute Alcohol
A bacteria that can produce butyric acid during fermentation.
Butyl Alcohol
