Given below are two statements: 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:
To determine the correctness of the given statements, let's analyze each one:
Statement I: Whisky, brandy, and rum are produced without distillation of the fermented broth.
This statement is false. Whisky, brandy, and rum are actually produced through the distillation of the fermented broth. Distillation is a key process in concentrating the alcohol content and refining the flavors in these beverages.
Statement II: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is called doctor’s yeast.
This statement is true. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is commonly known as "baker's yeast," used in baking and brewing. The term "doctor's yeast" isn't widely recognized or used in academic literature, but historically, certain properties have been attributed to yeast strains that contribute to health benefits.
From the analysis, we determine: Statement I is false, but Statement II is true.

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.
