Expert Answer
Fermentation is the breakdown of organic substances by organisms to release energy in the absence of oxygen. For example - The anaerobic breakdown of carbohydrates by yeasts to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide, and the bacterial breakdown of milk sugar to give lactic acid.
- Fungi such as yeast help in the commercial production of beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks by fermenting fruit juices, malted grains or molasses.
- Yeast is often used in the baking industry for making breads, pastries and cakes.
- Bacteria find application in the making of curd.
