Fermentálás is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation is a natural process that has been used by humans for thousands of years to preserve food and produce various products like bread, yogurt, cheese, and alcoholic beverages.
