It depends largely on the type of food. Some foods will only spoil after long periods of time while others, like meat or seafood, can spoil in a number of hours in the right conditions.
You can't always tell whether food is spoiled by the smell: some foods can smell fine but not be safe to eat.
The smell from spoiled food comes from the breakdown in the food caused by bacterial activity.
