The change which takes place when a saccharine solution is exposed to the action of any of several fungi known as yeast which converts the sugar to alcohol and carbonic acid (the breakdown of complex molecules in an organic compound caused by the action of a ferment such as yeast, bacteria or enzymes).

It is possible to measure the rate of fermentation by gas flow analysis.
