In this method, the sugar in a liquid broad is fermented by yeastis fermented in a liquid broad and a flow of nitrogen is passed through the fermenting liquid to a pair of flasks with a solution of sodium hydroxide. Carbon dioxide is quantified by back titration. When the effects of nutrient types, weight amount and type of yeast, temperature and time of fermentation on gas production capacity of baker`s yeast were determined, the method proposed showed good repeatability and precision.
