Concept in Definition ABC

The term yeast denominates in a general way different microscopic and unicellular fungi, which reproduce thanks to the division or gemmation, and that produce certain enzymes that generate the fermentation of carbohydrates and by case produce different substances.

It should be noted that the fermentation It is a process that was discovered at the time by the French chemist Louis Pasteur. The most typical fermentation is carried out precisely by yeasts.
Fermentation is a process widely used in the industry as it allows the transformation of grape juice into wine, barley into beer and carbohydrates in carbon dioxide in order to manufacture one of the most consumed products in the world, as is the case of bread.

As we indicated above, yeasts reproduce in a asexual through budding or budding and in some cases sexually through spores like ascospores. In the reproduction asexual and when the conditions are correct, a new bud results from the mother yeast, while when it is adult it will separate from the mother.

On the other hand, the term is also used to designate any dough that is made up of the aforementioned fungi and that is capable of rising and making the body with which it is mixed ferment, such is the case of brewer's yeast.

Among the best known and most widespread yeasts, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae, better known as brewer's yeast. It is a fungus unicellular also and it is the most recognized because it is the one used to produce products of wide consumption how to be bread, wine and beer.
It is worth mentioning that the use of this type to produce the aforementioned products is due to the ability to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide in the fermentation process.

Pizza, without going any further, is a food widely consumed in the world and one of its ingredients along with Water, wheat flour and salt is yeast. This mixture is baked and once cooked to taste, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese are added.
