During the industrial fermentation of molasses to produce ethanol, the temperature is strictly maintained below 35C. What occurs if the temperature reaches 55C?
Q1. During the industrial fermentation of molasses to produce ethanol, the temperature is strictly maintained below 35C. What occurs if the temperature reaches 55C?
Answer: Enzymes become inactive
Explanation: Enzymes like zymase and diastase are proteins that denature at temperatures above 35C, stopping the fermentation process of molasses effectively.
