Yeast and Sugar - The Chemistry must be right Jansen‚ C. Gymnasium Felisenum‚ The Netherlands 14-04-2010 Summary Yeast can metabolize sugar in two ways‚ aerobically‚ with the aid of oxygen‚ or anaerobically‚ without oxygen. In this experiment yeast ferment sugars anaerobically. When yeast ferments the sugars anaerobically‚ however‚ CO2 production will cause a change in the weight of the sugar/yeast-solution. This raises a further question: What is the effect of different kinds of sugars

of Glucose in Yeast Cells Glucose is absorbed across the cell surface membrane (plasma membrane) of most cells. A convenient way to investigate this is to use a solution of glucose and a suspension of yeast cells. The amount of glucose taken up from the glucose solution by yeast cells in a fixed length of time can be measured. At the end of the fixed length of time‚ further uptake of glucose is prevented by transferring the yeast suspension to a boiling water bath to kill the yeast cells. If the

3A Task 1 Aim: the aim of the experiment is to find the best temperature to ferment yeast at. Hypothesis: the yeast will ferment the best at 60 degrees Celsius. Independent variable: the temperature of the water the yeast is put in to ferment. Dependent variable. The amount of air bubbles the yeast produces. Controlled variable: the amount of yeast and glucose in each syringe. Uncontrolled variables: human error in counting. Materials : Plastic soft drink bottle cut to size Marking pen

Measuring the efficiency of various carbohydrate substrates in yeast fermentation. Cherrishe Brown October 3‚ 2007 Dieldrich Bermudez BSC 2010L Sect# 0560 Discussion As expected in the experiment Glucose‚ Fructose‚ and Sucrose were all utilized for fermentation. Based on the rate of evolution of CO2 the yeast was most efficiently able to utilize the substrate Glucose‚ followed by Sucrose and Fructose respectively. Given more time I believe that Sucrose would have surpassed glucose in total

LAB 1: Cheesemaking with Enzymes 9E Chihiro Okada Introduction 1. Enzymes - are biological catalyst. 2. Enzymes - are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. Emporase – an enzymes that speeds up the production of cheese. 3. First milk is pasteurized by heating it to 72℃ for 15 seconds to kill any harmful bacteria. Then‚ the milk is cooled and either a special blend of bacteria or an acidic solution - such as vinegar or lemon juice - is added. The milk is

of reactions that converts glucose to pyruvate with the concomitant formation of ATP. Three fates of this pyruvate produced exist. In this practical the production of pyruvate and acetaldehyde by fermentation of glucose is established. A series of test tubes was set up each containing glucose and yeast suspension in buffers at different pH values. These test tubes were incubated for an hour at 37℃. Trichloro-acetic acid solution was then added to the first 2 of the 4 test tubes prior to centrifugation

Introduction Yeasts are a Leading cause of spoilage of yogurt‚ doogh and fermented milks in which the low pH provides a selective environment for their growth (Fleet‚ 1990; Rohm‚ Eliskasses‚ & Bräuer‚ 1992; Hansen and Jakobsen‚ 2004). Yogurts and doogh having initial counts of >100 CFU/g tend to spoil quickly. Yeasty and fermented off-flavors and Swelling of the doogh and yoghurt package are often detected when yeasts grow to 105–106 CFU/g (Fleet‚ 1990). Green and Ibe (1986)‚ Viljoen et al (2003)

Effects of Sucrose Concentration On Cell Respiration In Yeast Abstract This lab investigates the effects of Sucrose concentration on cell respiration in yeast. Yeast produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct of anaerobic cellular respiration‚ so we measured the rate of cellular respiration by the amount of CO2 produced per minute. The results show a trend wherein increased concentrations of sucrose increase the rate of cellular respiration. Introduction All living cells require energy

ABSTRACT In order to determine the effect of the substrate on the rate of respiration of yeast‚ Durham test tube method was used in the first experiment. In this method two test tubes was obtain‚ where test tube one contains distilled H20 with the 7 ml substrate glucose while test tube two contains distilled H20 and with the cofactor in the form of Magnesium sulphate MgSO4. Both tubes has 7 ml 10% yeast suspension. The height of the area filled with gas was measured‚ after thirty minutes the test
