Plural of fermentation; multiple instances or types of the chemical process where microorganisms break down sugars to produce alcohol, acids, or gases.
Plural form of fermentation, which derives from Latin fermentatio, from fermentare (to leaven), rooted in fermentum (yeast).
Different fermentations create wildly different products—lactic acid fermentation makes yogurt tangy, acetic acid fermentation turns wine to vinegar, and alcoholic fermentation gives us beer and wine, all from the same basic microbial process.
