To compare the rates of fermentation of some
fruit/vegetable juices and determine the
substance which has the highest rate of
fermentation amongst the various samples
taken.
INTRODUCTION
Fermentation is the breaking down of
sugar molecules into simpler
compounds to provide substances
that can be utilized in making
chemical energy.
This is mainly acheived by the actions
of enzymes.
An enzyme attracts substrates to its
active site, catalyzes the chemical
reaction by which products are formed,
and then allows the products to
dissociate (separate from the enzyme
surface).
