Good morning guys! Today is the last day we'll see the topic about energy, so the dynamic is going to be a little different.
We'll start talking about alcohol fermentation
FERMENTATION
Let's imagine, for a second, that we are working in a bakery. So, our job is to make bread...and for that we need to make the dough first
First, we have to make the dough by mixing all the ingredients and adding the *yeast*
Then, we let the dough rest so it can grow. Does anyone know what reaction is happening right now?
The yeast is processing and the bubbles of CO2 causes the dough to rise, it also produces alcohol, causing fermentation
We know that wine is benefited by a great production of yeasts but we need to remember that the releasing of Oxygen is very important
That is right! Now let's briefly talk about fermentation in wine
Now we are gonna talk about lactic fermentation, which it is now acknowledged as the process performed by Lactobacillus, for example, to produce things like yogurt and other dairy products.
Ooof! My muscles hurt. Did you know that happens when lactic acid accumulates in the muscles thanks to exercise, this produces that characteristic pain.
This reaction was also known as lactic acid fermentation
