Emulsifiers
‘Water-loving’ head and a ‘water-hating’ tail.
These substances allow oil and water to mix so they can becomes emulsions.
Beer and wine are
Alcoholic drinks made by fermentation reactions that use yeast to convert sugar into ethanol.
Sugar from plant material
Is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by fermentation.
Enzymes found in single-called fungi (yeast)
Are natural catalysts that can process happen.
Fermentation usually works best
At around 37°C.
Sugars for be r-making come from
Barely in water. Hops are added to adjust the flavour or beer.
Sugars for wine-making come from
Grape juice.
Wine contains a higher proportion of ethanol than beer does
Because grape juice contains a higher concentration of sugars than barley in water.
Ethanol is a depressant
It slows down signals in the nerves and brain.
Small amounts of alcohol
Help people relax.
Greater amount of alcohol
Lead to a lack of self-control and a loss of judgement.
Ethanol is also
Toxic.
Long-term effects of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol include
Damage to the liver and brain.
It may also cause weight gain and is addictive.
Leads to a risk of stroke or heart disease.
Social effects of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
Drunken driving, vandalism, fighting, aggressive and antisocial behaviour, family violence and breakdown.
