What microbes spoil food?
Yeasts, molds and bacteria are microbes that spoil food. See Related Links for lists.
Why do hot foods get spoiled faster than cold ones?
This has to do with the rate of procreation of bacteria and other microbes that spoil food. The warmer the temperature the faster the rate of procreation. More procreation means more bacteria/microbes eating the food meaning it spoils faster.
How does dehydration prevent microbes from growing in food?
by taking away the water that microbes need to survive
What would the microbes do after eating up all the oil?
Once the food source is gone, the microbes die off.
What are protective responses to encountering food-borne microbes?
kk
What are the disadvanages of microbes?
microbes are infectious and act as a vector for spreading diseases of various types....they can spoil food also.

How does bacteria affect human body's good and bad?
Good bacteria help in digestion of food and fight microbes invading the body. Bad bacteria can make people sick or spoil food.
How and why does food spoil?
Food spoils/goes rancid/goes off when microbes on the food begin to grow, and reach levels which would make eating the food unpalatable/potentially harmful. Most microbes love living in an environment which is slightly warm, with a food source and some liquid (the last two things are generally provided by the food item they are living on). Putting your food in the fridge or freezer reduces the temperature which the microbes live in, hence they cannot breed as quickly so your food remains fresher for longer.
Which microbes spoil food?
Microbes are all around us - in the air, the soil, water and our bodies. This means they can soon get into food and, if the conditions are right, multiply rapidly. Unfortunately, when certain microbes grow on food, it soon begins to smell nasty, look slimy, change colour, taste awful or even acquire a furry coating. The food 'goes off' - it is spoiled. Even though it may not harm us, it is inedible and must be thrown away. There is also a chance that pathogenic microbes are present along with the spoilers.
What food does microbes need to survive?
Microbes need a food to survive
How do the microbes damage the food?
Microbes are decomposers. And they will begin the process of removing nutrients from food by breaking down the food.
Does gelatin spoil at room temp?
If you are talking about dry gelatin, no - it does not grow microbes. If you are talking about a gelatin dessert, I believe it would lose its shape and look unappetizing before it would actually spoil. But it is made up of protein, sugar and water, so I would think it could grow microbes.
What food has microbes in?

What food have microbes in them?
