Fermentation
Fermentation is a biological process characterized by the conversion of organic substances, such as sugars or carbohydrates, into new compounds in the presence of a ferment. This ferment can be a microorganism or a biochemical agent. The process of fermentation is often induced in unripe organic substances through the interaction with ripe substances or microorganisms, thereby accelerating or facilitating the transformation into new compounds. This description encompasses the technical definition and the contextual use of the term, highlighting the role of both ripe and unripe organic materials in the fermentation process.
