lehitsemisprotsesse
Lehitsemisprotsesse, or the process of fermentation, is a biological process in which microorganisms, such as yeast or bacteria, convert sugars into acids, gases, or alcohol. This process is widely used in various industries, including food and beverage production, biofuel creation, and waste management. Fermentation occurs under anaerobic conditions, meaning it does not require oxygen. The primary types of fermentation include alcoholic fermentation, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation, which produces lactic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is commonly used in the production of beer, wine, and spirits, while lactic acid fermentation is used in the production of yogurt, cheese, and sauerkraut. The process of fermentation has been utilized by humans for thousands of years and continues to be an essential part of many industries today.
