Fermentation Kinetics of Yeast Growth and Production Introduction Fermentation can be defined as an energy yielding process where yeast converts organic molecules (such as sugar) into energy, carbon dioxide or/and ethanol depending on the respiration pathway. Yeast can respire in anaerobically and aerobically. However, yeast gets more energy from aerobic respiration, but in the absence of oxygen it can continue to respire anaerobically, though it does not get as much energy from the substrate. Yeast produces ethanol when it respires anaerobically and ultimately the ethanol will kill the yeas
