There are a number of preservatives that can be used in bread. Proprionates, sulfites and benzoates are probably the more familiar ones.

On the more natural side, Vitamin C, honey and even dried plums seem to have some benefit.

Bread mold grows best in a damp, dark, warm, oxygen-rich environment. To prevent bread mold, keep the bread in a dry, lighted (sunlight), cool (frozen), carbon dioxide-rich environment.

What difficulty did Alexander Fleming which caused him to stop working on penicillin?

Fleming had found penicillin in bread mold in the year 1928. He squeezed the mold 'juice' out of the bread mold, but it spoiled, even in the refrigerator before he could do anything with it. He was unable to prove that penicillin was an antibiotic, and finally gave up in the year 1934. Others later figured out how to isolate penicillin and make it into a medical form.

Why do you store bread stocks in a freezer?

Freezing bread will pretty much stop the growth of mold and the process of staling. Very cold temperatures (below zero degrees Fahrenheit) are best. There is some slow degradation of the bread due to enzyme activity, but frozen bread will keep for a very long time. Do NOT store bread in the refrigerator, however! Starch in fresh-baked bread is in a gel-like state. Bread gets hard when it stales not because it's drying out, but because the long starch molecules are gradually binding to each other and forming a hard matrix. This process happens fastest at around fifty degrees Fahrenheit, which is about the temperature of most people's refrigerators, so storing bread in a refrigerator is one of the fastest ways possible to make it go stale. The staling process also uses water, so avoid excess moisture inside the bag used to store your bread.


How does dehydration stop mold?

Dehydration stops mold growth by removing the moisture that mold spores need to survive and reproduce. Without water, mold cannot grow, so keeping an environment dry can prevent mold growth.
