What is fermentation process? Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts a carbohydrate, such as starch or a sugar, into an alcohol or an acid. For example, yeast performs fermentation to obtain energy by converting sugar into alcohol. Bacteria perform fermentation, converting carbohydrates into lactic acid. Fermentation is defined as a process involving yeasts or other microorganisms breaking down a substance or a state of excitement. When grapes are crushed or transferred into a press, cultured yeast is added, and the sugars in the grapes start to convert into alcohol, this is an example of fermentation. Fermentation is widely used for the production of alcoholic beverages, for instance, wine from fruit juices and beer from grains. Potatoes, rich in starch, can also be fermented and distilled to make gin and vodka. Fermentation is also extensively used in bread making.
