MANGO WINE
I. INTRODUCTION
Fermentation is a metabolic process essential in biology, where
microorganisms like yeast and bacteria convert sugars into energy in the
absence of oxygen. This anaerobic process plays a crucial role in various
biological systems and industries. In living organisms, fermentation allows
cells to produce energy and maintain metabolic functions, especially when
oxygen is scarce. One common form of fermentation is alcoholic
fermentation, where glucose is broken down by enzymes into ethanol and
carbon dioxide.
This natural phenomenon is not only vital for cellular energy production but
also serves as the foundation for various industrial and traditional
applications, including the creation of fermented beverages like wine. Mango
wine, for instance, is a product of the fermentation process using ripe
mangoes, sugar, yeast, and enzymes. The sugars in the mango and added
sugar act as the primary substrates, while yeast (commonly Saccharomyces
cerevisiae) is the microorganism responsible for fermentation.
In mango wine production, the enzyme invertase breaks down sucrose into
glucose and fructose, which yeast further ferments into ethanol and carbon
dioxide. Alongside ethanol, the process also produces aromatic compounds
and organic acids that contribute to the wine's flavor and aroma. The result
is a fruity, alcoholic beverage with unique sensory qualities that reflect the
tropical essence of mangoes. This process exemplifies how a fundamental
biological mechanism is harnessed for culinary and economic innovation.
II. MATERIALS/INGREDIENTS
Mango
Sugar
Yeast
Water
Bowl
Whisk/fork
Glass jar
Clean cloth
Strainer
Wine glass
III. Procedure
Slice the mango into bits and put it in a bowl.
Then, smash it using a whisk or a fork.
After 7 days of waiting, open the jar and strain the fermented mixture
three times. Then, transfer it in a wine glass and seal it properly.
Wait for 14 days before taste testing the wine.
IV. CONCLUSION
Making mango wine is all about using fermentation, where yeast turns
sugars into alcohol.
Fermentation is when yeast eats the sugars from the mangoes and turns it
into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Fermentation uses yeast to turn sugars into alcohol. This process is simple
and can be done at home. The end product is a combination of sweet, sour
and a little bit of bitterness.
