Statement I: Whisky, brandy, and rum are produced without distillation of the fermented broth.
Statement II: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is called doctor’s yeast.
Choose the correct answer from the options below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true, but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false, but Statement II is true

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Whisky, brandy, and rum are produced through the distillation of fermented broth, not without it. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker’s or doctor’s yeast, is used in alcohol fermentation and baking.

Answer 2

• Statement I: "Whisky, brandy, and rum are produced without distillation of the fermented broth" is false. These alcoholic beverages are produced by fermentation followed by distillation of the fermented broth. Distillation is essential in concentrating the alcohol content and creating the final product.
• Statement II: "Saccharomyces cerevisiae is called doctor’s yeast" is true. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a type of yeast that is widely used in baking, brewing, and in the production of alcoholic beverages. It is often referred to as "baker's yeast" or "doctor’s yeast" due to its health benefits and importance in fermentation.
