NO!!!! Definitely not.
The end product of fermentationa is ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Ethanol's old name is ethyl alcohol , commonly referred to as alcohol; the stuff that you drink in beers wines and spirits.
The chemical formula for ethanol is 'CH3-CH2-OH' .
Acetone is the old name for propanone. propanone is a ketone and a powerful organic solvent. It smells like 'pear drops' sweets/candy'.
The chemical formuls for propanone is 'CH3-C(=O)-CH3.
Two things to note are;-
The number of carbons in the chain.
The double bonded 'C=O' in propanone, which does not occur in ethanol.
NB To ferment a sugar to form alcohol (ethanol), use the enzyme , yeast, a little water, a temperature of 37oC ; it is a temperatutre senstive process. and in anaerobic ( No air/oxygen) conditions.).
