Eduard Buchner quotes

Eduard Buchner was a German chemist renowned for his groundbreaking work in biochemistry. His experiments demonstrated that cell-free extracts could ferment sugar, proving that fermentation was due to enzymes, not living cells. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this discovery and significantly advanced scientific understanding of biological processes. Here are 4 of his quotes:

If fruit juices or sugar solutions are left to stand in the open air, they show after a few days the processes which are covered by the name of fermentation phenomena.

Eduard Buchner

We are seeing the cells of plants and animals more and more clearly as chemical factories, where the various products are manufactured in separate workshops.

Eduard Buchner

As is known, the sugar molecule as it passes through lactic acid can easily be split by purely chemical means.
