Question

One of the most common fermented cereals amongst these is:
A. Wheat
B. Bread
C. Rice
D. Yogurt

Answer 1

Hint:
Fermentation as we know is the process of breakdown of glucose by the yeast cells to produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy. The process of fermentation is used to increase the security of the food supply. It is of various types such as alcoholic fermentation conducted by yeast, acetic fermentation conducted by Acetobacter, and lactic fermentation conducted by lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Complete answer:
The popularity of cereal-based fermented products is increasing day by day as people are getting aware of the importance of health. Cereals are rich in and are an essential source of carbohydrates, proteins, fibres, and vitamins. The fermented cereal-based products are superior and in demand than the original cereals, from which they have been made. Cereal-based fermented products are very suitable for people with lactose intolerance, milk allergies, or people with vegan diet.
Bread is the most common fermented cereal which is produced when yeast feeds on the sugars contained within the dough and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol during the process of fermentation. For the fermentation to take place, the dough is kept at a warmer place because if the temperature is too high, the yeast will be killed. The production of carbon dioxide causes the dough to rise and the baking causes it to rise further. Evaporation of alcohol takes place during baking.
Thus, the correct answer is:- Bread.

Option ‘B’ is correct

Note:
Wheat and rice are cereals that can be used for the making of many fermented products. Cereals like wheat, barley, maize, and rice are used for the making of beer. Rice is used for the making of a fermented alcoholic beverage called sake.
