Question

Which raw material is used in fermentation process of making beer?

• A. Starch in vegetables
• B. Starch in cereals
• C. Sugar in fruits
• D. Protein in pulses

Answer 1

The correct option is B Starch in cereals

The raw material for beer production is cereal grain (usually barley and corn or rice), hops (scientific name Humulus lupulus), pure water, and brewer's yeast. Each ingredient can affect flavor, color, carbonation, alcohol content, and other subtle changes in the beer. As the cereals are the sources of carbohydrates, yeast breaks down the carbohydrate during fermentation and produces alcohol.
