Yeast contains a number of enzymes, more particularly inyertase and zymase. Invertase catalyses the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose (cf. the catalysis of this reaction by acids, p. 369).

The specificity of levansucrase98 is dependent not only on the d-fructoside but also on the aldoside residue of the substrate. Neither inulin nor methyl D-fructofuranoside was hydrolyzed by levansucrase, and even when these two substrates were hydrolyzed by inulase (prepared from inulin-fermenting Torula yeast) or by yeast invertase respectively, no levan formation occurred with levansucrase. However, neither methyl D-fructofuranoside nor inulin inhibited levan formation from sucrose by levansucrase. No levan was formed from potassium D-glucose... 

Indirect evidence of the reversal of enzymic synthesis of levan has recently been obtained.10Ba Enzyme preparations from B. subtilis were shown to contain an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing levan (in addition to the levan-synthesizing enzyme) in a system composed of D-glucose, levan, yeast invertase (to hydrolyze sucrose formed) and the B. subtilis enzyme preparation. 

Yeast Fermenting in Dough. When yeast is in a bread dough the traces of sugars present can be fermented directly. As yeast contains the enzyme invertase, any sucrose present can be inverted into dextrose and fructose which can then be fermented. If any dextrose from a high DE glucose syrup is present then it can be directly fermented. If there is any lactose present it can not be fermented at all. Similarly, any polyols such as sorbitol can not be fermented. 

The introduction of the invertase from yeast alone was not sufficient. Invertase cleaves sucrose to release the two component sugars, glucose and fructose. While fructose can be readily metabolized by fructokinase in potato tubers, there is insufficient hexokinase activity in developing potato tubers to bring the glucose into intermediary metabolism. Therefore, it was necessary to introduce a second transgene, a bacterial glucokinase, in order to ensure that the hexoses became available for subsequent metabolism.25...

Thus when o-glucose was added to a solution containing levan, yeast invertase and an enzyme preparation from Bacillus subtUis, it was found that the decomposition of the levan became accelerated, presumably through the synthesis and decomposition of sucrose47 as follows ... 

Of course, it is now established that the glycolysis of glucose to carbon dioxide and ethanol occurs by way of a complex pathway involving 10 different enzymes acting on a variety of sugar phosphate intermediates. The extracellular enzyme preparation that Fischer used was termed invertin, the origin of the term for the enzyme we now know as invertase. He termed the intracellular enzyme yeast-glucase (31) and this enzyme is of the type we now refer to as an amylase.

Bioethanol can be produced from a large variety of carbohydrates with a general formula of (CHjO) . Chemical reaction is composed of enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose followed by fermentation of simple sugars. Fermentation of sucrose is performed using commercial yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. First, invertase enzyme in the yeast catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to convert it into glucose and fmctose. 

When the original methyl D-fructofuranoside sirup was fermented with yeast, the unstable beta isomer was selectively eliminated and the residue yielded a crystalline methyl D-fructoside melting at 81° and with [a] D +93° in water. The ring structure of this new isomer was proved to be furan by methylation to the liquid tetramethyl derivative, of [a] °D +129.4°, and subsequent hydrolysis to 1,3,4,6-tetramethyl-D-fructofuranose (structure IX) with the correct specific rotation of +29.8° in water. Both the methyl D-fructoside and its fully methylated derivative were therefore of the alpha configuration, since the latter was more dextrorotatory than the tetramethyl-D-fructose and also since the former was more dextrorotatory than the isomer, of [a] D —51°, unstable to invertase. Similar work with the benzyl D-fructofuranoside sirup produced the crystalline alpha isomer, melting point 89°, [a] D +45.7° in water, the liquid tetramethyl derivative, [a] D +83.3° in chloroform and, after acid hydrolysis of the latter, 1,3,4,6-tetramethyl-D-fructofuranose. 

Although dilute aqueous acid hydrolyzed the methyl and benzyl a-D-fructofuranosides approximately 8 and 16 times as rapidly as sucrose, their method of preparation showed them to be unaffected by any of the enzymes active in a fermenting yeast suspension. Purified yeast invertase, proven free of a-D-glucosidases (maltases), could therefore contain no enzyme capable of hydrolyzing the above two a-D-fructo-furanosides, but did contain constituents that readily cleaved the beta isomers and also sucrose. The latter is accordingly a /S-D-fructofuranos-ide. When the evidence is put in this way, the present uncertainties as to whether purified invertase preparations include one or a number of /3-D-fructofuranosidases, and whether or not sucrose, methyl and... 

This succinyl group avoids the formation of the pyranosidic ring and acts as a spacer to conjugate the mole-cule to resins or biopolymers. The succinylated analog of sucrose 41 (R= HO2CCH2CH2CO-) is not sweet, and it is unable to inhibit invertase. It is however an inhibitor of a-glucosidase from baker s yeast. 

Thiosucrose (98) was also a good inhibitor for the two enzymes which act on sucrose, the levansucrase from Bacillus subtilis and the yeast invertase [19].

Prior to fermentation, the wort is then cooled to temperatures below 85°F (30°C), and the pH is adjusted to about 5. Yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces carlsbergensis or Candida brassicae are added and fermentation proceeds for 2 to 3 days under batch processing conditions. Yeast produces the enzymes maltase, zymase, and invertase. Maltase converts maltose to glucose. Zymase converts glucose to ethanol. Invertase converts any sucrose present to fermentable sugar. The following equations illustrate the enzymatic conversion of starch to ethanol ...
