Why does glucose have the highest rate of fermentation? A biochemical deep dive

4 min read
Did you know that yeast can ferment glucose more quickly and efficiently than other sugars, like fructose, in a mixed sugar environment? The reason why glucose has the highest rate of fermentation is rooted in its simple molecular structure and the specific metabolic pathways organisms like yeast use to process it. This speed is a critical factor in many industrial and biological processes, from brewing beer to baking bread.
