    In fermentation, yeast secrets one of the following enzyme [MP PMT 1989]

    A) Invertase

    B) Zymase

    C) Dehydrogenase

    D) Anolase

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In yeast fermentation, the enzymatic reactions are as follows (1) \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}+{{H}_{2}}O\underset{\text{in yeast}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Invertase}}}}\,\underset{\text{Glucose}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,+\underset{\text{Fructose}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\] (2) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\underset{Yeast}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Zymase}}}}\,2{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\] \[+2C{{O}_{2}}+21\ kcal\ \text{energy}\].
