Sourdough Bakery — Fermentation Dynamics (2D)

Interactive 2D sourdough fermentation model: wild yeast and lactobacilli compete for sugar under logistic growth, CO2 bubbles inflate the dough over time, and live charts track dough volume, microbial populations and pH as temperature changes fermentation rate.

This 2D companion to the 3D Sourdough Bakery models the biology behind a rising loaf: wild yeast and lactic-acid bacteria grow logistically as they compete for the same sugar pool, CO₂ bubbles from yeast metabolism inflate the dough over time, and a Q10 temperature coefficient governs how fast everything happens. Adjust temperature, starter inoculation and available sugar, then watch dough volume, population curves and pH evolve on the live chart as fermentation proceeds.
