How Does Temperature Affect Yeast Fermentation

1859 Words8 Pages

What is the effect of temperatures 10°C , 20°C, 40°C, 60°C and 70°C ± 1/°C on yeast fermentation when baking bread? ii. Aim: The focal aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) fermentation. iii. Background Information: Yeast fermentation is directly affected by the change in temperature, because the rate of chemical reactions is affected by temperature. If the yeast has been exposed to its optimum temperature (66.667 degrees Celsius) then it will give off the highest carbon dioxide production. As the temperature gets higher, the yeast will produce more carbon dioxide, until at some point carbon dioxide production will decrease, that is when the yeast cells have become denatured due to the increase in temperature.

Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reaction, and they work best at their optimal conditions (optimum pH, temperature etc.) but when the environment is not close to the optimum conditions, the enzymes denature and do not function anymore1. An excellent example would of the effect of temperature on yeast fermentation would be that the bacterial cells if exposed to very high temperature (above the optimal) would no longer function since their enzymes are denatured. The yeast would produce the most Carbon dioxide in the optimal temperature (45 °C ±1/°C) and other temperatures below the optimal temperature would not produce sufficient Carbon dioxide and any temperature above will produce too much that it will lead to the sinking of the bread and death of yeast because its enzymes have been denatured, therefore the reaction will stop. The bread will certainly sink if is not exposed to the right temperature the yeast will not ferment

    The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.

    Along with being found in plants, they are also present in liver cells, kidney cells, leukocytes and erythrocytes. For the concentration of enzyme experiment, the hypothesis was if the concentration of an enzyme increases, then the enzyme activity will increase as well. The hypothesis was proven to be true, because there are more enzymes to react with substrates. For the enzyme—factors affecting, the hypothesis concluded was if the temperature increases, than the enzyme activity will increase. This however was proven wrong, because enzymes become unstable at higher temperatures.

    As predicted in our hypothesis, the second fermentation chamber had more of a reaction, the experiment proved the hypothesis to be correct. Chamber number two consisted of six mL of yeast slurry, nine mL of ten percent glucose, and six mL of chili powder with a total of twenty one mL of volume in the fermentation chamber while chamber one had twelve mL of water, six mL of yeast slurry, and nine mL of ten percent glucose. Chamber number three had three mL of water, six mL of yeast slurry, nine mL of ten percent glucose, and three mL of NaCl (sodium chloride). Even in doubt the many substances and mixtures our results indicated that the second chamber had more of a reaction at thirty minutes and stayed constant throughout the forty five minutes.

Cold adapted yeast Glaciozyma antarctica PI12 in this study, referred to a yeast that was isolated from Antarctica, which able to grow at low temperatures. An in-depth overview of its characteristics and the various gene expression patterns under the thermal changes is reported in the previous chapters.

    Only the heated solution caused the balloon to expand, suggesting that the increase in temperature is linked to the balloon’s expansion. Furthermore, as the solution was only heated to 60°C, no water vapor was produced to fill the balloon, suggesting the gas was produced solely by the yeast. Thus, the yeast reacted to the heat, supporting the claim that yeast can respond and is alive. Sources of error in this experiment could have included incorrect preparation of solutions. The solutions of yeast, water, and sugar, could have been measured incorrectly causing the control and experimental solutions to be different.

    Another critical problem with sample processing and analysis is cold settling the wild yeast. After collecting berries from the valley floor, interns cold settle berries at 8 degrees Celsius for 48 hours. They also cold settle berries harvested from the hillside for 20 hours. However if the temperature is too low, the yeast would be "cold shocked"; although low temperatures may help to preserve the aroma but it will slow the activity rate of yeasts, thus resulting in the lag phase and fermentation activity will be stuck. When fermentation is stuck, microorganism (yeast) growth rate will be reduced and they will minimally consume sugar to convert them to ethanol.

    Joshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.

    There are several reactions occur when there is plenty of oxygen present. Then the energy released is used by the yeast for growth and activity. However, when the oxygen supply is limited, the yeast can only partially breakdown the sugar. Alcohol and carbon dioxide are produced in this process known as alcoholic fermentation. The fermentation occur when the carbon dioxide produced in these reactions.
