46
Q

Lactic Acid Fermentation

A

Lactic acid bacteria transforms lactose into lactic acid

Curdles milk and prevents harmful microorganisms

47
Q

Making Cheese

A

Lactic-acid bacteria turn lactose into lactic acid, which causes curdling

48
Q

Processed Cheese

A

Addition of emulsifiers, colours and additives

49
Q

Alcoholic Fermentation

A

Yeast coverts sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide

50
Q

Wine

A

Alcohol content 8%-14%
Grapes crushed

wild yeasts or inoculated Saccharomyces cerevisiae convert sugars into CO2, ethanol, and aromatic molecules

51
Q

Beer

A

From grains
Amylase enzymes convert starch into sugars

52
Q

Ale Beer

A

Warm brewing (21-25)

top fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

53
Q

Lager Beer

A

bottom fermentation (6-8 °C), cold brewing with Saccharomyces uvarum

54
Q

Bread

A

Amylase breaks down some of the starch into sugar

Flour+Water=dough

55
Q

Unfermented Breads
