No, bacteria can thrive under anaerobic conditions.
Preservative chemicals are sometimes added to bread to retard mold growth.
Anything that has enough moisture to support bacterial growth.
Dampness and warmth encourage bacterial growth and rotting.
Refrigerating food retards bacterial growth. It does not stop it, it only slows it down.
Bacterial growth can be hindered using proper food storage and preparation methods. For example: to not cut vegetables on the same board used to cut raw chicken would prevent a lot of bacterial growth risks.
Coldness inhibits bacterial growth, thus preserving food longer.
As the food is thawing, parts of the food will be in the temperature danger zone and would allow the growth of bacteria. This increased bacterial load increases the opportunity for pathogen growth as well as spoilage.
Fermentation preserves food because the bacterial growth reduces the pH of the food to a range where pathogenic and many spoilage organisms won't grow.
Any food out of the fridge for two hours must be cooked or served immediately. Bacterial growth has commenced.
chilling is storing the food at very low temperatures. So the bacterial growth is reduced and shelf life of the product is increased.
The five conditions that bacteria loves to grow in is food left out for more than an hour or frozen food that has not been re-cooked to an even 165c in thickest part. Food can be contaminate making it harmful to eat at any time during growth, harvesting or slaughter, processing, storage, and shipping.
An acidic environment causes bacterial enzymes to fail or work less efficiently.
