The fermentation process of yeast is caused by enzymes, catalysts in chemical reactions similar to the digestive enzymes in the human body. In fact, the word enzyme means "in yeast." Certain enzymes in yeast act on starch to break down the long chainlike molecules into smaller units of sugar. Then other yeast enzymes convert one kind of sugar molecule to another. Still other enzyme reactions break apart the sugar molecule (composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms) into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. The series of reactions provides the yeast cells with the energy necessary for their growth and division (form of reproduction).
They include sucrase (invertase), zymase, maltase (glucase), lactase, hexosephosphatase, reductase, carboxylase, melibiase, and endo-tryptase, as well as proteolytic enzymes, which have already been mentioned in the general description of the enzymes. You are probably thinking of reductase.
