The following is a lab report on fermentation and its inhibitors.
ABSTRACT
For hundreds of years, spices have been used by sailors to inhibit the fermentation of the
alcohol they transported. These spices, including Clove were used with good reason. In
this study it was found that 1% clove solution inhibited a fermentation reaction by as
much as 0.093ml/min. The clove solution also decreased the total evolution of CO2 by as
much as 2.845 ml.
The process of fermentation is better inhibited using microbial inhibitors such as …

showed last 75 words of 1233 total…Glucose only is 0.455mL/ min
compared to 0.362mL/min for Glucose + Clove.
The total amount of CO2 evolved in the Glucose only solution is 10.505mL compared to
13.350mL in the solution inhibited with clove.
From the results I can conclude that clove is a suitable inhibitor, proving to be more
effective than Ethanol, which is the natural inhibitor produced during fermentation.
