How does drying preserve food?
because you need moisture to cause bacteria and if it is drying moisture wont get to it

Does plant food get old?
Plant food does indeed get old and should be thrown out. This is because the heat and moisture will cause the food to get moldy or clump up and it is then no good for a plant.
How does salt prevent food spoilage?
Most bacteria, which cause food spoilage, cannot tolerate the high salinity. The salt draws out moisture, causing them to die.
How salting prevents food spoilage?

What is the effect of moisture on the growth of mold?
The moisture is very common in food because when food is lot of days in the fridge the food produce this moisture called bacteria martaria
What is freezing drying?
Freeze Drying is a method of food preservation that rapidly freezes whatever is being preserved, then adding heat to it in a vacuum. This process removes all moisture from the food or what is being preserved by allowing the moisture to leave the substance as a gas rather than a liquid - the vacuum pulls it out rapidly. The heat used is enough to cause moisture release but not enough to cause the frozen material to thaw. The resulting dried food can be preserved for a very long time without spoiling. To reconstitute the preserved food, normally all you have to do is to add water, which replaces the moisture that was originally removed during the process.
How does moisture spoil food?
Moisture provides an environment suitable for the growth of pathogens and spoilage organisms. So you have to control the moisture levels in the food, depending upon the preservation method being used.
What is Intermediate moisture food?
intermediate moisture food can be defined as the which foods have the water activity of .6 to .9......they are known as intermediate moisture food......these foods are largely protected against microbial spoilage..:)
What do bacteria need to thrive?
PH, temperature, food, moisture, and more PH, temperature, food, moisture, and more
What is a food decay?
Food deterioration refers to food spoiling from bad storage practices or old age. Health inspectors routinely check restaurants to insure that food deterioration is not occurring.
What are the conditions that favor the spoilage of carbohydrate based intermediate moisture foods?
Warm and/or humid conditions. If intermediate moisture foods are exposed to warm enough, or humid enough, conditions, moisture will either enter the food or stick to the surface of the food. If the moisture of the food increases, microorganisms will start to grow and spoil the food.
