2. fermentation
It is the conversion of carbohydrate to alcohol and co2, (or)
organic acid.
By using bacterias.[yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
Lactobacillus bulgaricus]
Fermentation results in the production of energy in the
form of 2ATP molecules and produce less energy than the
aerobic process of cellular respiration.
C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2ATP + 2CO2
3. History of fermentation
Fermentation was first investigated by Louis Pasteur
in 1860.
But in fact fermentation was in practice since 6600BC.
Louis called this process as la vie sans air mean life
without air.
Aerobic fermentation and Anaerobic fermentation
4. Aerobic fermentation
Aerobic means in the presence of air
Aerobic fermentation is actually a wrong term
Organism use oxygen for the conversion of complex
organic compounds, this process is known as aerobic
respiration
Some types of fermentation process require oxygen for
the reproduction and growth of microorganism
Most fermentation involves the initial introduction of
oxygen to ensure a strong yeast colony is established and
yeast will ferment without using oxygen even if oxygen is
available

6. Homolactic
In homolactic
fermentation one
molecule of glucose is
converted into 2 molecule
of lactic acid
hetrolactic
In hetrolactic
fermentation one
molecule of glucose is
converted into one
molecule of lactic acid
one molecule of ethanol
and one molecule of
carbon dioxide
7. Butanol fermentation
In acetone-butanol fermentation, acetone and
butanol are produced from glucose using strain
of Clostridia, which are strictly anaerobic
bacteria. Further, ethanol is also produced.
The ABE fermentation produces solvents in a
ratio of 3:6:1 on acetone, butanol and ethanol
Clostridium acetobutylicum is the most well
studied and widely used species
8. Bio butanol
Bio butanol is bio fuel
Earlier bio ethanol is used as a alternative fuel
But now a days biobutanol is replaced by the bioethanol due its advantages
in it:-
It is not hydroscopic in nature
It doesn’t cause corrosion
It has more calorific value than ethanol
Also sometimes called bio gasoline
9. FERMENTATION IS USED
To produce antibiotics if no other method is available
To produce ethanol which can be used as gasohol
To produce alcoholic beverages like beer from barley and wheat
and wine from grapes
To store vegetables in form of pickling
To produce cheese from milk by the action of Yeast
Yogurt is produced by fermentation of milk
In the treatment of wastewater. Which the solid wastes are
converted to carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts
