Solution:
The yeast species used in alcoholic fermentation are Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly called Brewer’s yeast. Malted cereals and fruit juices produce ethanol by fermentation. Molasses are a more common substrate for alcoholic fermentation.
Depending on the type of the raw material used for fermentation and type of processing (with or without distillation), different types of alcoholic drinks are obtained.
Distillation is the process that involves the conversion of liquid into a vapour that is subsequently condensed back into liquid form. It is used to separate the liquid from non-volatile solid, as in the separation of alcoholic liquor from fermented material or separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points.
It is a purification process in which liquid is purified by heating and cooling. Thus, a distilled beverage spirit or liquor is an alcoholic beverage containing concentrated ethanol produced using fermenting grain fruits (or) vegetables.
Alcohols which are produced without distillation is wine and beer, which have a low alcohol concentration. Whereas rum, vodka, and brandy are distilled beverages that have a higher alcohol concentration.
