There are two main types of fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, and alcoholic fermentation. The first, also known as lacto-fermentation, is responsible for foods such as sauerkraut when bacteria break down the sugar and turns it into lactic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is the breakdown of sugars by yeast, which is then converted into alcohol. By 2032, the global fermented food market is forecast to reach over 989 billion U.S. dollars.
