OBJECTIVE To compare the rate of fermentation of the given samples of wheat flour, gram flour, rice flour and potatoes.
I became interested in this idea when I saw some experiments on fermentation and wanted to find out some scientific facts about fermentation. The primary benefit of fermentation is the conversion of sugars and other carbohydrates, e.g., converting juice into wine, grains into
beer,

    Fermentation is the chemical process converting sugar to gases and occurs in yeast and bacteria. In the experiment we conducted, we used sucrose and yeast and measured the fermentation carbon dioxide formation. The factors affecting fermentation that we tested in this experiment were temperature and the effect of a disinfectant. We measured the fermentation carbon dioxide formation by using a ruler and measuring the amount of bubbles in the tube that were formed.…

    Organisms through cellular respiration convert energy into ATP. They do this in three distinct stages; glycolysis,the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain are both aerobic process and require oxygen. In certain conditions where oxygen is not present or is low some organisms switch from cellular respiration into alcoholic or lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is an anaerobic, metabolic pathway used to oxidize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced) (NADH) into nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD+).…

    The two types of fermentation that are well known are alcoholic fermentation as well as lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is vital for many organisms, such as yeast and bacteria, because it allows them to obtain energy required to carry on life processes. Alcoholic fermentation is especially important for human beings, as it is used to produce alcoholic beverages, bread, and many other everyday items that are consumed (Alba-Lois, 2010). On the other hand, lactic acid is a waste product of certain bacteria (Lactobacillales), which is utilized to create many dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. In addition, humans can resort to lactic acid fermentation when oxygen is limited, so it is used as an extra source to obtain oxygen. In our experiment we will be using yeast, a single-celled organism that utilizes sugar as a food source, and it produces energy substances through the breakdown of sugar molecules. Specifically, the type of sugar as a source of food, impacts the speed of fermentation in yeast. In this lab, we will calculate the rate of fermentation in yeast with different solutions of sugar, such as sucrose, fructose, and lactose with glucose being the control. It is important to humans that the yeast uses the best sugar source during fermentation, as it creates important everyday items we consume like bread, alcohol, and…

    First, carbohydrate fermentation was tested in various sugar solutions (glucose, sucrose, arabinose, mannitol, lactose, and galactose) for the unknown. Cells were taken from culture and inoculated into vials filled with a phenol red sugar solution and a filled Durham tube which was turned upside down. The cells were left to grow overnight and observed the next day for color changes and bubble production which gave positive results for carbohydrate fermentation. The next test was a Methyl Red-Vogues Proskauer (MR-VP broth) test for which a sample of the unknown was inoculated into two separate tubes (one for the MR and one for the VP tube) and allowed to grow for at least 24 hours. Next the MR tube was given a methyl red reagent and mixed to observe a color change to bright red.…

    In the beginning, three fermentation vial were prepared with distilled water, yeast and eleven grams of glucose. A control vial was also prepared, but only contained water and yeast. Then all the fermentation vials were placed in a larger vial, and inverted. The CO2 was measured and then the vials were placed in designated location that contain different temperature. One vial was placed in the incubator and another in the ice bath. The control and room temperature vial were left in the table. Every five minutes for five interval the measurements of Co2 was collected from each vial.…

    Baker 's yeast enzymes convert sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Baker 's yeast is cultivated from the strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae because of its superior fermentation abilities. The yeast propagates in pure culture using special culture media comprised of melasse and other ingredients. With respect to their metabolism baker ' yeasts are facultative anaerobe. They can ferment or respire depending upon environmental conditions. In the presence of oxygen respiration takes place, without oxygen present, fermentation occurs. Fermentation is a process by which a living cell, such as…

    Yeast are used to ferment sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Cereal grains are fermented to produce beer, while wine and hard cider is fermented from grapes and apples respectively. Sake is produced by fermenting rice, using Aspergillus oryzae and then an additional fermentation step utilizing bacteria and yeasts. Bread is produced by fermenting the sugar to produce carbon dioxide, which rises the bread. In addition, many food and drinks are produced by fermentation, such as soy sauce and other soybean products. Another use of fungi is to process cheese. Some cheeses are inoculated with Penicillium roquefortii to impart a strong and pungent flavour.…

    Water is not fermented.” The outcome of my experiment did not support my hypothesis. The results showed glucose did ferment the easiest, but it was followed by sucrose as opposed to fructose, fructose was after sucrose then the starch. Luckily, my test control did work as expected. This experiment proved that yeast depends on glucose as its’ main source of energy. This happens when glucose is reduced to pyruvate which leads to the fermentation of carbon dioxide and ethanol.…
