Greek term (enzymology) for a branch of biochemistry dealing with the processes during fermentation. This includes all chemical changes that bacteria, enzymes and yeasts bring about in organic compounds. In the chemical industry, zymology also includes the production of ethanol and vitamins, among other things. It is significant for the beer brewing industry, bread making and viticulture.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
