Q

Describe the principle of fermentation.

A

Raw material consisting of CHO, CHON, and fat (crops, grains, waste products) is acted upon by selected microorganisms in starter culture (bacteria, yeasts, molds) and enzymes to create a new product with altered flavor, texture, and health effect or for preservation.
