Question

Which of the following is a fermentation product useful in the manufacture of cheese?
A) acetic acid
B) ammonia
C) ethanol
D) lactic acid
E) pyruvic acid

Accepted Answer

Lactic acid is a fermentation product that is commonly used in the manufacture of cheese. During the cheese production process, bacteria are added to milk to produce lactic acid, which helps to coagulate the milk proteins and form the curd that is used to make cheese. Other fermentation products such as acetic acid, ammonia, ethanol, and pyruvic acid are not typically used in cheese production.
