In anaerobic condition sugar in dough is converted into?(a) Alcohol(b) Water(c) Glucose(d) SucroseThis question was posed to me in examination.This question is from Oxygen Uptake in Cell Cultures in section Mass Transfer of Bioprocess Engineering |
Answer» RIGHT OPTION is (a) Alcohol The explanation is: Fermentation is nothing but an anaerobic respiration process in which the substrate is any organic material other than glucose like alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) produces an enzyme named zymogenwhich ferment the alcohol. It is an anaerobic process and substrate is not glucose. The ENERGY PRODUCTION is MUCH less in fermentation process. |
