4.6
What is the highest pH level that fermented foods can safely have?
200
The primary energy carrier in all living organisms on Earth.
What is ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate?
200
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
200
The critical factor that is the difference between fermentation and cellular respiration?
What is oxygen?
200
Helpful bacteria that naturally occurs in the intestines, and digests and breaks down food.
What are probiotics?
200
This process uses salt and acetic acid to preserve food.
What is pickling?
300
Formed by the removal of a phosphate from adenosine triphosphate and is composed of adenosine, ribose, and two phosphate groups.
What is ADP or Adenosine Diphosphate?
300
Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water
What is cellular respiration?
300
Aerobic organisms that can't carry out fermentation, but produce enzymes that break down large organic compounds into smaller units.
What are molds?
300
A waste product of yeast respiration useful in making breads.
What is carbon dioxide?

A preservation process that used bacteria, enzymes and naturally formed acids to solidify milk proteins and fats.
What is cheese making?
400
C6H12O6
What is glucose?
400

Benzoates, nitrates, and sulphites.
What are the three classes of chemical preservatives commonly used in foods?
500
What is pyruvic acid?
500
This process finishes breaking down glucose, and fuels the production of ATP.
What is the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle?
500
One type of fermentation where one molecule of glucose is converted to one molecule of lactic acid, one molecule of ethanol, and one molecule of carbon dioxide.
What is heterolactic fermentation?
500
Formed after the completion of the natural fermentation process of making kombucha.
