''Homolactic'' metabolism is described as the cell catabolizing one molecule of glucose to yield two molecules of pyruvate, which is then further reduced to two molecules of lactate (lactic acid). ''Homolactic'' fermentation only allows the fermentation of hexoses (glucose, mannose, etc.). ''Homolactic'' metabolism follows the ''Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas'' pathway <ref name="Effects on Food Properties"></ref>.
