Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose Abstract The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure

Karmini Mondal Chemistry 245- 061 Biosynthesis of Ethanol from Sucrose Introduction: Ethanol can be created using two methods: acid catalysed hydration of ethylene and through fermentation of sucrose. The purpose of this experiment was to use fermentation to produce ethanol from commercial sucrose (store-bought sugar)‚ using fractional distillation of the fermented solution. The percent ethanol in the fermented solution was then calculated. Mechanism: Results: Mass of conical vial 10.36 g

Experiment #1 Preparation of Ethanol from Sucrose Based on R. Weglein & C.L> Yau‚ CHEM 203 Experiments in Organic Chemistry II Laboratory‚ 5th Edition‚ 2006‚ p29-32. Statement of Purpose: An aqueous solution of ethanol is prepared by the fermentation of sucrose. The percent alcohol is the resulting solution and the percent conversions of the sucrose are to be determined. Introduction: Sucrose is a molecule containing glucose and fructose. http://faculty.tcc.fl.edu/scma/phelpsj/experiments/ethanol

Increased production of CO2 is a result of increased temperatures acceleration of the rate of fermentation. Abstract: We have tested the affects of increased temperature above room temperature on the rate of fermentation of yeast. We had 6 flasks filled with 6mL DI water‚ 2mL Yeast suspension and 6mL glucose of which 3 were at 25°C and 3 were at 37°C. The flasks at 37°C had each mixture pre-heated at 37°C for 2 minutes before being combined and then added to the flask where it was put into the

Title: Confirming the Presence of Fermentation in the Conversion of Milk to Kefir Authors: Michael Ahrens‚ Nicholas Fiore‚ Garrett Hages‚ Melissa Cullom University of Kansas‚ Biol 402‚ Fall 2014‚ 3:00pm room 6040 Abstract: In this experiment milk was fermented into Kefir‚ then a series of tests were used to confirm that fermentation actually occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion

Yeast Fermentation Lab Report SBI4U Chaweewan. Sirakawin Present to Ms.Allinotte November 21. 2014 Introduction: Fermentation is a metabolic pathway that produce ATP molecules under anaerobic conditions (only undergoes glycolysis)‚ NAD+ is used directly in glycolysis to form ATP molecules‚ which is not as efficient as cellular respiration because only 2ATP molecules are formed during the glycolysis. One type of fermentation is alcohol fermentation‚ it produces

In this lab‚ the class tested the effect of temperature on the rate of fermentation in yeast by measuring the height of CO2 produced in a graduated cylinder at varying degrees Celsius. Yeast can perform cellular respiration and fermentation‚ the first needing oxygen (aerobic) and the second not (anaerobic). Cellular respiration is the normal way human bodies’ make energy‚ but when lacking oxygen‚ cells undergo fermentation‚ which creates less energy than respiration‚ CO2‚ and lactic acid (though

Comparing the Rate of Fermentation of Yeast in Solutions with Different Concentrations of Glucose Brandon Bosley BIO 121 11/19/2013 Introduction: In our lab this week we tried to see how different amounts of substrates affect our organism‚ yeast‚ in its fermentation process. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is an organism that is cultured for the cells themselves‚ as well as the end products that they produce during fermentation. Yeasts are commonly known for the ethanol fermentation due to their

Fermentation Lab Report Introduction: Fermentation‚ a type of anaerobic respiration that breaks down glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide without the use of oxygen‚ is extremely vital in food processing. Especially useful in the making of bread and wine is yeast‚ a single-celled fungus. The rate of fermentation of these products can be done by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the work of the yeast. The specific variable we tested was the volume of fructose in each vial solution
