2. A state of agitation or excitement, as of the intellect or             the feelings.                         It puts the soul to fermentation and activity.                                                                               --Jer. Taylor.                         A univesal fermentation of human thought and faith.                                                                               --C. Kingsley.          {Acetous, [or] Acetic}, {fermentation}, a form of oxidation             in which alcohol is converted into vinegar or acetic acid             by the agency of a specific fungus or ferment ({Mycoderma             aceti}). The process involves two distinct reactions, in             which the oxygen of the air is essential. An intermediate             product, aldehyde, is formed in the first process. 1.             C2H6O + O = H2O + C2H4O          Note: Alcohol. Water. Aldehyde. 2. C2H4O + O = C2H4O2          Note: Aldehyde. Acetic acid.          {Alcoholic fermentation}, the fermentation which saccharine             bodies undergo when brought in contact with the yeast             plant or Torula. The sugar is converted, either directly             or indirectly, into alcohol and carbonic acid, the rate of             action being dependent on the rapidity with which the             Torul[91] develop.          {Ammoniacal fermentation}, the conversion of the urea of the             urine into ammonium carbonate, through the growth of the             special urea ferment. CON2H4 + 2H2O = (NH4)2CO3          Note: Urea. Water. Ammonium carbonate.          Note: Whenever urine is exposed to the air in open vessels                for several days it undergoes this alkaline                fermentation.          {Butyric fermentation}, the decomposition of various forms of             organic matter, through the agency of a peculiar             worm-shaped vibrio, with formation of more or less butyric             acid. It is one of the many forms of fermentation that             collectively constitute putrefaction. See {Lactic             fermentation}.          {Fermentation by an} {unorganized ferment [or] enzyme}.             Fermentations of this class are purely chemical reactions,             in which the ferment acts as a simple catalytic agent. Of             this nature are the decomposition or inversion of cane             sugar into levulose and dextrose by boiling with dilute             acids, the conversion of starch into dextrin and sugar by             similar treatment, the conversion of starch into like             products by the action of diastase of malt or ptyalin of             saliva, the conversion of albuminous food into peptones             and other like products by the action of             pepsin-hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice or by the             ferment of the pancreatic juice.          {Fermentation theory of disease} (Biol. & Med.), the theory             that most if not all, infectious or zymotic disease are             caused by the introduction into the organism of the living             germs of ferments, or ferments already developed             (organized ferments), by which processes of fermentation             are set up injurious to health. See {Germ theory}.          {Glycerin fermentation}, the fermentation which occurs on             mixing a dilute solution of glycerin with a peculiar             species of schizomycetes and some carbonate of lime, and             other matter favorable to the growth of the plant, the             glycerin being changed into butyric acid, caproic acid,             butyl, and ethyl alcohol. With another form of bacterium             ({Bacillus subtilis}) ethyl alcohol and butyric acid are             mainly formed.          {Lactic fermentation}, the transformation of milk sugar or             other saccharine body into lactic acid, as in the souring             of milk, through the agency of a special bacterium             ({Bacterium lactis} of Lister). In this change the milk             sugar, before assuming the form of lactic acid, presumably             passes through the stage of glucose. C12H22O11.H2O =             4C3H6O3          Note: Hydrated milk sugar. Lactic acid.          Note: In the lactic fermentation of dextrose or glucose, the                lactic acid which is formed is very prone to undergo                butyric fermentation after the manner indicated in the                following equation: 2C3H6O3 (lactic acid) = C4H8O2                (butyric acid) + 2CO2 (carbonic acid) + 2H2 (hydrogen                gas).          {Putrefactive fermentation}. See {Putrefaction}.

Alkali soil \Alkali soil\       Any one of various soils found in arid and semiarid regions,       containing an unusual amount of soluble mineral salts which       effloresce in the form of a powder or crust (usually white)       in dry weather following rains or irrigation. The basis of       these salts is mainly soda with a smaller amount of potash,       and usually a little lime and magnesia. Two main classes of       alkali are commonly distinguished: {black alkali}, which may       be any alkaline carbonate, but which practically consists of       sodium carbonate (sal soda), which is highly corrosive and       destructive to vegetation; and {white alkali}, characterized       by the presence of sodium sulphate (Glauber's salt), which is       less injurious to vegetation. Black alkali is so called       because water containing it dissolves humus, forming a       dark-colored solution which, when it collects in puddles and       evaporates, produces characteristic black spots.

The chloride of sodium, a substance used for seasoning             food, for the preservation of meat, etc. It is found             native in the earth, and is also produced, by evaporation             and crystallization, from sea water and other water             impregnated with saline particles.          2. Hence, flavor; taste; savor; smack; seasoning.                         Though we are justices and doctors and churchmen . .                      . we have some salt of our youth in us. --Shak.          3.

The neutral compound formed by the union of an             acid and a base; thus, sulphuric acid and iron form the             salt sulphate of iron or green vitriol.          Note: Except in case of ammonium salts, accurately speaking,                it is the acid radical which unites with the base or                basic radical, with the elimination of hydrogen, of                water, or of analogous compounds as side products. In                the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic                and tribasic acids, the mutual neutralization may vary                in degree, producing respectively basic, neutral, or                acid salts.
