Note :
Ferments are of two kinds : ({
a })
Formed or organized ferments . ({
b })
Unorganized or structureless ferments .
The latter are now called {
enzymes }
and were formerly called {
soluble ferments }
or {
chemical ferments }.
Ferments of the first class are as a rule simple microscopic vegetable organisms ,
and the fermentations which they engender are due to their growth and development ;
as ,
the {
acetic ferment },
the {
butyric ferment },
etc .
See {
Fermentation }.
Ferments of the second class ,
on the other hand ,
are chemical substances ;
as a rule they are proteins soluble in glycerin and precipitated by alcohol .
In action they are catalytic and ,
mainly ,
hydrolytic .
Good examples are pepsin of the dastric juice ,
ptyalin of the salvia ,
and disease of malt .
Before 1960 the term "
ferment "
to mean "
enzyme "
fell out of use .
Enzymes are now known to be {
globular protein }
s ,
capable of catalyzing a wide variety of chemical reactions ,
not merely hydrolytic .
The full set of enzymes causing production of ethyl alcohol from sugar has been identified and individually purified and studied .
See {
enzyme }.
