Alcoholic Fermentation Lab Kylie Johnson 11-10-12 Introduction: Since we are regular human beings‚ of course we are going to consume a lot of energy in our lifetime. Most of the energy we consume comes from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource‚ and we are using these non-reusable ones uncontrollably. This is why we need to use more renewable resources. A way that we could do that is by the alcoholic fermentation of ethanol. Ethanol is a byproduct in corn‚ and it is one product

Temperature and Yeast Fermentation Introduction: Saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ commonly known as baker’s yeast‚ is an key ingredient used mainly when baking bread or making alcoholic beverages. The main role of the yeast is to convert the sucrose into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol. For example‚ when baking bread‚ the yeast ferments the sucrose within the dough and so CO2 and ethanol is released‚ causing the bread to rise and expand. It does this using enzymesAlso‚ during this fermentation process‚ because

Purpose: To find which of solutions will produce the most alcoholic fermentation by measuring the depth of the carbon dioxide bubbles and the diameter of the balloon. Apparatus and Material: Funnel 4 test tubes Cups Sugar Water Yeast Knife Ruler Balloon Marker Tape Method: 1) Put tape on each test tube and label them‚ 0%‚ 1%‚ 5% or 10%. 2) Fill up water in each cup. 3) Add 10 ml of water in each test tube 4) For the test tube labeled 1%‚ add 0.1 ml of sugar. 5) Add 0.5 ml of sugar

Fermentation and affects it has on foods Fermentation is described as the transformative action of organisms and the metabolic change either anaerobic or aerobic processes converting energy needed to turn raw product to a finished fully fermented food. Fermenting food has become more popular because people are realizing that if it were not for fermenting as a collection of people we would be in trouble. Fermenting has been done for hundreds of years because if not for fermenting letting foods just

ABSTRACT The hypothesis which states that the simpler the nature of substrate‚ the faster the rate of cellular respiration of yeast was tested using the smith fermentation tube method. The experiment used six smith fermentation tubes‚ distilled water and sugar substrates. It composed of six set-ups which used 15ml of 10% yeast suspension‚ 15 ml distilled water and 15 ml of their assigned sugar substrate namely: starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose glucose and fructose respectively. Set-up six was the

Fermentation Fermentation is a natural process that has been going on in nature since before humans existed. For centuries we have been practicing food fermentation‚ knowingly or unknowingly. Every food culture in the world throughout history has been using fermentation in their food in some way. Bread making originated in Egypt 3500 years ago. Fermented drinks were being produced and consumed in Babylon(now Iraq) 7000 years ago. China is thought to be the birth place of fermented vegetables. A

Fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates involves the conversion of sugars to ethanol which is mainly performed by bacteria or yeast. The organism chosen should possess certain characters in terms of tolerance I‚e towards inhibitors ‚sugars and ethanol concentrations in the hydrolysates and should also withstand higher temperatures and lower pH and with minimal by product formation [161]. Fermentation is the key component where advancement in technology plays key role and is required to be feasible

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan
