Module 4 Batch Distillation Flashcards
1
Q
Fermentation
A
this process converts fermentable sugars (produced from malted barley during mashing) into ethanol (plus carbon dioxide, heat and flavour compounds) via anaerobic respiration in yeast.
2
Q
glycolysis pathway, or the Embden-Myerhof-Parnas pathway (EMP)
A
Glucose is metabolised to give ethanol, carbon dioxide and heat.
3
Q
Congeners
A
produced via the metabolic pathways through the utilisation of yeast and other compounds.
a chemical compound responsible for flavour and aromas in whisky.
These congeners enter the wash during autolysis of the yeast.
3

A
when the yeast cell dies and its membrane splits open.
