Formed alcohol, ethanol has a structural formula CH3 - CH2 - OH or it can also be written with chemical formula C2H5 OH.

Ethanol is a simple alcohol produced via the fermentation of sugars (such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose) by yeasts. Because yeasts do this conversion in the absence of oxygen, fermentation is an anaerobic process.
