For each of the sugars fermented by yeast, fill in the chart below to determine the mg of sugar consumed per minute during fermentation.For column one use

to calculate the moles of CO2 produced

Use

to calculate the moles of sugar consumed

Use

to calculate the mg of sugar fermented per minute

Based on your results, which sugars should be provided to yeast grown commercially considering that maximizing efficiency is the goal of the industry?

Explanation / Answer

Determine the mg of sugar consumed per minute during fermentation per minute during fermentation

we use this formula for calculate the volume of CO2 produced

n = (P × V) ÷ (R × T)

where- n=Number of moles

P=pressure=101.3kpa

T=temperature=273.15k

R=gas constant=8.3145/mole

Glucose-

n = (P × V) ÷ (R × T)

19.2 * 101.3 / 273.15 * 8.314 =1944.96/2270.9691 = 0.8564

Fructose-

6.5 * 101.3 / 273.15 * 8.314 = 658.45 / 2270.9691 = 0.3018

Maltose-

20.4 * 101.3 / 273.15 * 8.314 = 2066.52 / 2270.9691 = 0.9099

Maltotriose-

4.6 * 101.3 / 273.15 * 8.314 = 465.98 / 2270.9691 = 0.2051

2- To calculate the moles of sugar consumed

moles of sugar consumed = moles of CO2 produced ÷ (2 × number of simple sugars in that sugar)

Glucose-  number of simple sugars in glucose-6 -because chemical formula of glucose-C6H12O6

0.8564 / 2*6 = 0.7136

Fructose- number of simple sugars in glucose-6 -because chemical formula of fructose will be the same

0.3018 / 2 * 6 = 0.0251

Maltose-number of simple sugars in maltose -12 because chemical formula C12H22O11

0.9099 / 2 * 12 = 0.379

Maltotriose--number of simple sugars in maltotriose -18 because chemical formula C18H32O16

0.2051 /2*18 = 0.0057

3-to calculate the mg of sugar fermented per minute

mg of sugar per minute = (moles sugar) × (MW g/mole) × (1000 mg/g) ÷ (5 minutes)

the volume of CO2 gas produced during each fermentation test with yeast,

Molecular mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Glucose-

0.7136 * 44.01 * 1000 / 5 = 6281.10

Fructose-

Glucose should be provided to yeast grown commercially considering that maximizing efficiency is the goal of the industry.
