Why sugary and salty foods usually resist bacterial spoilage even without refrigeration?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
Bacteria grows in mainly wet or moist food so it is harder for bacteria to grow in dried or salted food.
Also, many bacteria and yeasts dislike salt, even in wet foods (like pickles) because they have trouble maintaining their inner water/solids ratio when the amount of dissolved solids in the surrounding water is very high. Sugar, in large enough amounts, does the same thing. That is why canned fruit always comes in a sugar syrup.

∙ 11y agoOne of the basic requirements of bacteria to grow is moisture. The perfect balance of water inside and outside the bacterial cell wall help the bacteria survive. If there is no water in the environment then water inside the bacterial cell travels outside by the process of osmosis and the cell shrinks. This condition eventually kills bacterial cells

Is there a nonprescription cure for bacterial Vaginosis?

What important process is disrupted in bacterial cells when bacterial ribosomes are disabled by antibiotics?
The synthesis of proteins, of course. The ribosomes are the " workbench " on which proteins are synthesized. Without proteins for construction and enzymes the bacteria is in real trouble.
What are the compounds that kill bacterial cells without harming the cells of humans?
They are called antibiotics (meaning against life) and generally interfere in only a few specific chemical reactions, those found in bacterial cells but not human cells.
How long does it take for tea tree oil to cure chronic bacterial vaginosis?
There is no evidence that tea tree oil is a cure for bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is a result of the good bacteria in the vagina dying off and the "bad" bacteria taking over. Putting tea tree oil in your vagina is not likely to kill off the unwanted bacteria without killing off the protective bacteria.

How does making potato into chips help to prevent food spoilage?
Water content in food provides an excellent environment for bacteria to grow. When potato chips are cooked it removes most of the water and can allow for longer storage without bacterial growth.

Is refrigeration required to store urine?
I read urine was good for 24-48hrs. does it have to be refigerated during this time? Yes it does need to be refrigerated. Without refrigeration, the specimen can last about 24 hours. If refrigerated, it can last from 5 days to 2 weeks (according to who you ask), and apparently, freezing can let the specimen last up to a year. Otherwise, bacterial growth can taint the specimen.
