What kind of preservatives are used in bread?

preservative means - a chemical substance used to preserve foods or other organic materials from decomposition or fermentation. so if you did an experiment testing bread mold and your bread does not grow mold that means that it has preservatives in it keeping the bread from molding. on the other hand if your bread does grow mold that means that it either has no preservatives in it or your bread was a little bit old causing the bread to mold faster. i also suggest that if you do and experiment with bread mold that you don't put them in plastic bags because the plastic bags keep all of the germs away from the bread causing it not to mold. but if you wanted to put them in plastic bags put them in one that in similar to the bag that the bread came in from the storeREAD: Plastic bags actually enhance the growth of mold. Mold required moisture to live, so a simple sandwich bag seals in the moisture speeding up mold growth. When left out, bread does not mold because the moisture within escapes.
