Abstract

In small-scale sake brewing tests, progression of ethanol fermentation is examined by monitoring carbon dioxide emission using the Fermograph, an automated multi-channel gas monitor instrument. The Fermograph system enables automatic measurements of fermentation profiles with high accuracy, reproducibility, and resolution, and facilitates comprehensive and quantitative sake fermentation kinetic analyses.
