Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In fermentation kinetics, what does the term 'lag phase' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that fermentation involves microorganisms like yeast or bacteria.
  • Step 2: Know that when these microorganisms are introduced to a new environment (like a new food source), they don't start growing immediately.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the time before they start growing is called the 'lag phase'.
  • Step 4: During the lag phase, microorganisms are adjusting to their new environment and preparing for growth.
  • Step 5: After the lag phase, the microorganisms will start to grow and multiply actively.
