3.5 gather and process information from secondary sources to: identify and describe a named industrial fermentation process identify the micro-organism used in the fermentation and the products of the fermentation outline the use of the product of the fermentation process use available evidence to assess the impact of the use of the fermentation product on society at the time of its introduction
gather and process information from secondary sources to:
- identify and describe a named industrial fermentation process
- identify the micro-organism used in the fermentation and the products of the fermentation
- outline the use of the product of the fermentation process
- use available evidence to assess the impact of the use of the fermentation product on society at the time of its introduction
- Gather information from a range of resources including the Internet, scientific journals and text books. As you gather general information on fermentation you will need to choose a particular industrial fermentation process to investigate. Make sure the information you have gathered includes the micro-organism used and the products of the fermentation. You may need a separate web site to find the impact of the use of the fermentation product on society at the time of its introduction.
- Process the information you have gathered by assessing the reliability of the information from various sources. This is best done by comparing similar information from different sources. If you are uncertain about the reliability of one source, check it against a third source.
- Use the available evidence you have gathered to assess the impact of the use of the fermentation product on society at the time of its introduction.
