fermentationsprocesser
Fermentationsprocesser are a set of biochemical processes in which microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts convert sugars and other substrates into new compounds, often under low-oxygen conditions. These processes are used to preserve foods, develop flavors, produce beverages and industrial products, and occur in both traditional household methods and controlled industrial settings.
The most common categories include lactic acid fermentation (producing lactic acid from sugars, as in yogurt,
Microorganisms involved include lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc), yeasts (Saccharomyces), acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter), and molds
Processes proceed through initiation, microbial growth, product formation, and maturation. End products may be organic acids,
Applications span food and beverage production, animal feeds, pharmaceuticals and bio-based manufacturing. Common examples include yogurt,
