Day 041
As you can clearly see, the process begins with a molecule of glucose being broken down by the process of glycolysis into pyruvate: C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]12[/SUB]O[SUB]6 [/SUB]→ 2 CH[SUB]3[/SUB]COCOO[SUP]− [/SUP]+ 2 H[SUP]+[/SUP]
This reaction is accompanied by the size difference of two molecules of NAD[SUP]+ [/SUP]to NADH and a net of two ADP molecules converted to two ATP plus the two water molecules.
Pyruvate is then converted to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide by an enzyme called pyruvate decarboxylase and requiring thiamine diphosphate as cofactor. The acetaldehyde is subsequently reduced to ethanol by the NADH from the previous glycolysis, which is returned to NAD[SUP]+[/SUP]: CH[SUB]3[/SUB]COCOO[SUP]− [/SUP]+ H[SUP]+ [/SUP]→ CH[SUB]3[/SUB]CHO + CO2 CH[SUB]3[/SUB]CHO + NADH → 2 C[SUB]2[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB]OH + NAD[SUP]+ [/SUP]
Simply put: C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]12[/SUB]O[SUB]6[/SUB] + Zymase → 2 C[SUB]2[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB]OH + 2 CO[SUB]2[/SUB]

I'm kinda bummed, my printer has a bad PZT in the print head. I took the head out and flushed it with magic juice, and still it doesn't work. So the printouts of my wine labels are all screwed up.
All of my wine usually have a label that looks like this.

Oh well... Can't have it all.
Did ya know if you crop the first photo, it looks like Pizza!!
