Fermentation in food processing typically is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions.
Fermentation is the process used to produce alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and cider. Fermentation also is employed in the leavening of bread, sour foods su
