The main product of the process of fermentation is ethanol, also known as alcohol. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar into acids, gases, or alcohol, typically involving microorganisms like yeast or bacteria. In alcoholic fermentation, yeast breaks down glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide, thus producing beverages such as beer and wine. This process not only creates alcohol but also contributes to the development of flavors and aromas crucial in different fermented products. Fermentation is widely used in the food and beverage industry as well as in various industrial applications.
