Fermentation formula

Chemical equation

C6H12O6 + 2ATP + 2ADP + 4NADH ------> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 +4ATP + 2H2O + 4NAD+

Word equation

Glucose + Inorganic phosphate + Adenosine Tri-phosphate + Adenosine di-phosphate + (Reduced) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ---------> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Adenosine tri- phosphate + water + Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

This equation is not comprehensive and the actual process of fermentation incorporates 12 individual enzyme controlled reactions.

Fermentation is the process by which cells release energy under anaerobic conditions (generally). Several major products of fermentation are ethanol, lactic acid, and hydrogen gas. Fermentation of sugars by yeast is typically used as the source of ethanol for Alcoholic Beverages.

Yeast

Glucose ----------> Carbon dioxide + Ethanol

Yeast

C6H12O ----------> 2CO2 + 2C2H6O

Yeast acts as the catalyst, which is why it goes above the arrow.
