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.

white and rye breads are often more proccessed than wheat bread, so much of their ingredients include preservatives. Wheat bread is a more pure form of bread and the more natural a food is, the faster bacteria will grow because there are no or little chemicals to hinder that process.

What effect can bread mold have on human body?

Bread molds vary widely in species. However, most kinds of mold that grow on wheat bread are harmless in small amounts.

However, there are certain kinds of bread mold that can be dangerous, but any bread mold is bad in large amounts. Also, some people may have an allergic reaction to mold. It's a good idea to generally stay away from bread mold.Note: The above information refers to eating bread mold. Inhaling the spores can be much more dangerous.


What types of bread will mold grow fastest on?

Mold needs a few factors to grow1) high humidity2) warm temperatures3) food sourceIf you were to keep humidity and temperature constant, I would say that wheat bread would grow mold faster. Rye bread is often more acidic because Lactobacillus maybe used in the dough raising process. The anaerobic respiration of lactobacillus can mean higher acidity of the dough and therefore a lower pH value.Mold will grow quicker on white bread than it will grow on rye or plain brown wheat bread.It also depends on the formulation of the bread, whether or not it contains artificial or natural preservatives, the quality of the ingredients - and their original state of freshness - and then, of course, the conditions under which the bread was produced and the conditions in which it is being stored.It depends on what moldy environment you'd prefer to keep your bread in my friends...Put five to 10 drops of water on the piece of bread and store in a warm, dark place.After 5 to 10 days, you should notice some fuzzy white, black, orange or green spots on the bread. Once visible, the mold will grow noticeably each day.
