Muscles tend to expend ATP at a faster pace compared to the supply of oxygen to muscle cells. This leads to the accumulation of lactic acid, and hence the sore muscles.
Lactic acid Fermentation
Ethanol fermentation
Acetic acid fermentation
Types of fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation
Starch to lactic acid
ethanol fermentation
starch to ethanol + CO2 (glycolysis)
acetic acid fermentation
starch to vinegar (glycolysis)
The purpose of lime water is to check the fermentation reaction.
Positive result seen should be the presence of carbon dioxide (white bubbling) precipitate in lime water, as this is one of the by product of fermentation.
