Summary Introduction

A metabolic process that produces chemical alterations in organic substrates by the action of enzymes is called fermentation. In microorganism, the fermentation is the primary means of generating ATP by the degradation of organic nutrients anaerobically. Humans use fermentation to produce beverages and foodstuffs. Example, fermentation is used for producing alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine.
