Fermentation The conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions

BIOTECHNOLOGY Using scientific methods with organisms to produce new products or new forms of organisms Any technique that uses living organisms or substances from those organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals, or to develop micro-organisms for specific uses

BIOTECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE YEARS 4000 BC in Egypt – Discovered the use of yeast to make bread rise and to prepare wine 3000 BC in Peru – Started to improve the potato. It was larger and able to resist frost. 1763 BC Sumerians – Invented the process of brewing beer
