Yes. When I make applesauce, I make two versions: one with lots of cinnamon for myself and one without cinnamon for my wife. Hers will acquire mold within a few weeks, whereas mine has lasted for months without any sign of mold growing in it.

Admittedly, I haven't done the experiment with a more modest amount of cinnamon in the applesauce, but cinnamon is indeed clearly a mold inhibitor. (To get an idea of what my cinnamon applesauce is like, I once had friends who tried it tell me that they thought it quite a novel idea that I decided to add some apples to my cinnamonsauce.)

Why does rye bread grow mold fast?

Several factors determine the rate at which bread may mold. Rye tends to be more artisanal in nature, thus containing fewer preservatives, which would allow for quicker mold formation. Also, this bread may have more moisture, and more sugar, which provides food and an environment conducive to mold development. To stave-off this unwanted mold, you might consider freezing your bread and using it as needed. Freezing does not affect the texture or flavor of bread, but extends its shelf life indefinitely if well wrapped. Also, you could store your bread in a low-moisture environment that isn't too dark or too light, as mold thrives in darkness but light could destroy the bread. NEVER refridgerate your bread.


Why does bread get moldy?

AnswerIf a piece of bread (or really any type of food for that matter) is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria will infect it and take it over. The bacteria will form green or brown mold.If a piece of bread (or really any type of food that contains moisture) is left unprotected in the open air, (can happen during manufacture as well) mold spores will land on it. Mold is a member of the Fungi Group or Kingdom depending on the classification scheme. The mold, finding a suitable environment will use the moisture and nutrients in the bread to reproduce. Bacteria do not produce mold.
