The Effects of Sugar Complexities on Ethanol Production in Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

The effects of different types of sugar complexities on the brewing process was examined by measuring ethanol output from fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . During the brewing process, yeast is used to convert glucose to carbon dioxide and ethanol. This prompted the question of whether or not more complex sugars with more glucose and other natural sugars would maximize ethanol production.…
