Explore the science behind fermentation and the life of yeasts, revealed through classic experiments.
This volume surveys how fermentation works in fruits, seeds, and leaves, showing how living organisms drive sugar into alcohol and gas. It also traces Pasteur’s pivotal experiments and the emerging view of fermentation as a life-based, not just chemical, process.

Excerpt from On Fermentation, Vol. 20
Fermentation is only a particular instance, selected from among the chemical phenomena of which living organisms are the field it, like all biological reactions, comes before us as a manifestation of the special force residing in these organisms, or rather in their cellular elements.
If we leave the nature of the fermenting body, and the products derived from it, in the background, there is nothing to distinguish fermentation from the other chemical transformations which take place in the animal or vegetable economy.
