Reason: Brewer's yeast produces beer not wine.

Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are false.

Solution:

In immobilised fermentation process, living yeast cells are immobilised in calcium alginate beads. The beads containing living cells are kept in columns in the fermentation tank. The technique allows quicker fermentation about 20 times as compared to batch process. The fermentation rapidly becomes vigorous with the evolution of large quantities of CO2. Different kinds of alcoholic beverages are produced by using different brewer's yeast and the fermenting medium. For example - (I) Beer is an undistilled product of grain-mesh fermentation brought about by Saccharomyces cerevisiae andS. carisbergensis, (II) wine is an undistilled product of fruit juice fermentation brought about by Saccharomyces eliipsoidens.
