Variable Production of Carbon Dioxide and Ethanol by the Yeast Saccharomyces in Fermentation due to Temperature Changes

Abstract Under anaerobic conditions, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used in determining how much carbon dioxide was produced at several temperature points in Celsius. From these reactions, it is assumed that temperature increase will have an effect on higher production rates of carbon dioxide. In order to achieve these values, several materials were used in the experiment. Two 500 mL flasks were used, one contain 250 mL of sucrose and the other 250 mL of water. The two …
