Lesson 8: Acetic Acid Fermentation Flashcards
were first recognized as causing wine spoilage in the 19th century.
Acetic acid bacteria
Their ability to oxidize (?) to (?) both induces wine spoilage and is vital to commercial vinegar production.
ethanol to acetic acid
They are product of scalar fermentations carried out by several groups of microorganisms acting at different moments in time.
Vinegar
The metabolic activity of (3) is also crucial for guaranteeing the manufacture of vinegar.
yeasts, molds and lactic acid bacteria
The initial phase represented by alcoholic fermentation carried out by (?), sometimes lactic acid
yeasts
This converts alcohol into vinegar or acetic acid through oxidation, catalyzed by specific fungi or bacteria.
Acetous fermentation
Acetous fermentation requires what?
oxygen
Acetous fermentation involves two reactions with (?) as an intermediate product.
acetaldehyde
This bacteria are required for Acetous fermentation
Mycoderma aceti or Acetobacter aceti
T or F: Acetous fermentation can be aerobic and anaerobic
TRUE
Aerobic involves yeast (S. cerevisiae) converting (?) to (?)
glucose to ethanol
Fermentation typically starts with yeast breaking down (?) into (?) and (?).
breaking down glucose into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Crucial in vinegar and fermented food production, influencing flavor and acidity.
Acetous Fermentation
[STRUCTURE] Alcohol - Water - Acetaldehyde
C2H6O + O H2O + C2H4O
[STRUCTURE] Acetaldehyde - Acetic acid
C2H4O + O C2H4O2
Step 1 of vinegar production
Fermentation of Sugar to Ethyl Alcohol
The step 1 of vinegar production is anaerobic and carried out by yeasts, specifically (?)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae var ellipsoideus.
(STEP 1) Sugar concentration should be around (?)%, and pH and temperature maintained at approximately (?) and (?)°C, respectively.
20%; 5 and 32°C
