Fermentation Process and Types of Fermenter.

Question

Accepted Answer

Fermentation process involves the conversion of organic substances into simpler compounds by the action of enzymes or microorganisms.

Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces energy without the need for oxygen.
Types of fermenters include batch fermenters, continuous fermenters, and fed-batch fermenters.
Batch fermenters are used for small-scale production and involve a single batch of substrate being fermented.
Continuous fermenters allow for a continuous supply of substrate and continuous removal of product.
Fed-batch fermenters involve the addition of substrate during the fermentation process to enhance product yield.
Examples of fermentation processes include the production of alcoholic beverages, yogurt, and biofuels.
