Please urgently! (10 mins)
Soy sauce is prepared in
a CLOSED tank by fermenting a salted
mixture of soybeans and wheat with yeast, over a period of 8 to 12
months. The resulting sauce (after solids are removed) is rich in
ethanol.
(a) How is ethanol produced in the resulting soy sauce? What is
the importance of this process? Include the enzymes
involved. (8 marks)
(b) Could ethanol be produced when the reaction mixture is
incubated in an OPEN tank? (2 marks)
