Industrial fermentation
Industrial fermentation is a process that uses microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, to convert raw materials into valuable products on a large scale. This method is commonly employed in the production of food items like bread, yogurt, and beer, as well as biofuels and pharmaceuticals. During fermentation, these microorganisms break down sugars and other compounds, producing alcohol, carbon dioxide, and various organic substances. This natural process has been harnessed by industries to create products efficiently and sustainably, leveraging the unique properties of these microorganisms for various applications in everyday life and advanced technology.
