Beer and Cheese
When you are drinking a cold beer on a hot day, or eating a delicious cheese sandwich,
you can thank biotechnology for the pleasure you are experiencing. That's right! Beer, bread
and cheese are all produced using biotechnology. Perhaps a definition will be useful to
understand how. A standard definition is that biotechnology (or biotech for short) is the
application of science and engineering to the direct or indirect use of living organisms.
And as you know, the food and drink above are all produced by the fermentation of
micro-organisms. In beer, the yeast multiplies as it eats the sugars in the mixture and turns
them into alcohol and CO2. This ancient technique was first used in Egypt to make bread
and wine around 4000BC!
