The earliest biotechnology was used to make cheese and wine. Grape juice and milk
spoiled very rapidly. Through the use of certain types of bacteria, milk could be fermented to form cheese, and the grape juice could be fermented to form wine. The use
of these bacterial agents transformed highly perishable foods into foods that could be
kept for a long period of time. Ancient biotechnology was not limited to food
preservation. Arabs also used artificial insemination.
