Alcoholic beverages can be broadly classified into distilled and undistilled (also known as fermented ) types. This classification is based on the method of production and the alcohol concentration in the final product. 1. Undistilled Alcoholic Beverages (Fermented Beverages) Definition: Undistilled or fermented beverages are alcoholic drinks obtained directly through fermentation —a natural biochemical process where yeast converts sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide . Production Process: Raw Material: Sugary or starchy substrates like fruits, grains, or vegetables. Yeast Fermentation: Yeast (typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) is added to the substrate. Ethanol Production: Sugars are converted into alcohol without any concentration process. No Distillation Involved. Alcohol Content: Generally between 3% to 15% ABV (Alcohol by Volume). Cannot exceed ~15% ABV naturally, as yeast dies in higher alcohol concentrations. Examples: Beverage ...

25 Short Question-Answers: Solutions and Their Classification 1. What is a solution? A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. 2. What is a solute? The substance that is dissolved in a solution is called the solute. 3. What is a solvent? The substance that dissolves the solute is called the solvent. 4. Give an example of a solid in liquid solution. Salt in water. 5. Give an example of a gas in liquid solution. Carbon dioxide in soda water. 6. What is a liquid in liquid solution? Alcohol in water is an example. 7. Name a gas in gas solution. Air (oxygen in nitrogen). 8. What is a solid in solid solution? Alloys like brass (zinc in copper). 9. How are solutions classified based on physical state? Into solid, liquid, and gaseous solutions. 10. What are dilute solutions? Solutions with a small amount of solute. 11. What are concentrated solutions? Solutions with a large amount of solute. 12. What is a saturated solution? A solution in which no ...
