Meaning
Fermentation is a process in which micro-organisms are allowed to consume the sugar in a food in order to change the flavour or create a new chemical.
About Fermentation
- Fermentation generally uses yeast or bacteria which may aerobically or anaerobically respire in our food.
- Humans use fermentation to change the flavour of food or release some of the nutrients that otherwise could not be digested.
Some common food and drinks that are fermented
- Bread
- Yoghurt
- Sauerkraut
- Alcohol
