The role of gibberellin in alcohol fermentation

Gibberellin mainly acts as a catalyst in alcohol fermentation. Can accelerate alcohol fermentation.

Gibberellin is suitable for the following crops: cotton, tomato, potato, fruit tree, rice, wheat, soybean, tobacco and so on. To promote their growth, germination, flowering and fruiting; It can stimulate the growth of fruits and improve the seed setting rate, and has obvious yield-increasing effect on cotton, vegetables, melons and fruits, rice, green manure and so on.

Alcohol fermentation is a process in which microorganisms (such as yeast) decompose organic substances such as glucose under anaerobic conditions, produce incomplete oxidation products such as alcohol and carbon dioxide, and release a small amount of energy. In higher plants, there are alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation, commonly known as anaerobic respiration.

In the process of alcohol fermentation, yeast is anaerobic fermentation, anaerobic respiration, and complex biochemical reactions have taken place. As far as fermentation technology is concerned, there is a reaction that starch and dextrin in fermented mash are hydrolyzed by glucoamylase to produce sugar.

In addition, protein in the fermented mash is hydrolyzed by protease, producing small molecules of peptone, peptide and various amino acids. Some of these hydrolysates are absorbed by yeast cells to synthesize bacteria, some ferment to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide, and also produce by-products such as fusel oil and glycerol.
