Fermentation is a biochemical reaction. It releases energy from an organic substrate under the action of microbial enzymes while rejecting products.
The word “fermentation” comes from the Latin fervere which means to boil. A fermenting liquid gives off gas and looks like a boiling liquid.
Fermentation can be alcoholic, acetic, lactic.
Industrial agitators for fermentation :
The agribusiness, dairy, pharmaceutical (anaerobic fermentation), sugar or “green” chemistry industries use the fermentation process.
Fermentation is a crucial step in the manufacture of many products such as yeast, beer, sourdough, yogurts, fermentation media, wines.
We can also talk about the maturation of milk and yoghurts thanks to lactic ferments. There are many materials to ferment : grapes, roasted barley, malt, milk, cream…
