Lactose, Sucrose, Glucose and Fructose Fermentation
« on: June 01, 2012, 03:12:54 AM »
Hey guys,
just wondering whether anyone knows how different sugars, namely, lactose, sucrose, glucose and fructose will differ in terms of alcohol content in a fermentation with yeast in water? and Why?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How do redox reactions affect fermentation?

Hey guys, just wondering whether redox reactions will affect a fermentation involving four different sugars: lactose, fructose, glucose and sucrose!

Hey there, gsewe1: and Aziz Sergeyevich:, I'm hoping the "both of you" don't mind my merging your similar topics into one thread.  To help you guys help yourselves, can you tell us some definitions you know?  What actually is fermentation?  What are the products -- its not always ethanol, for example.  And what Red-Ox reactions do you mean?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
