an example would be oxidation of the cheese
In my living environment, a chemical change occurs when food is digested in the stomach, where complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones. In my non-living environment, a chemical change occurs when iron rusts due to exposure to oxygen and moisture, forming iron oxide.
Bread going moldy is considered a chemical change because it involves the transformation of the bread's composition through microbial activity. Mold, a type of fungus, breaks down the carbohydrates and proteins in the bread, leading to the formation of new substances and changes in texture, flavor, and appearance. This process is irreversible; once the bread has molded, it cannot return to its original state. Therefore, the mold growth signifies a fundamental chemical alteration in the bread.
Mold can produce toxins that may be harmful if consumed in large quantities, but the presence of mold itself does not necessarily mean harmful bacteria are present. However, when consuming moldy food, it's best to exercise caution as mold can indicate spoilage and the potential for harmful bacteria to be present. It's generally recommended to discard moldy cheese, yogurt, and bread to avoid potential health risks.
The only food that I know of where it is OK to cut off the mold is hard aged cheese. And you should remove the not-moldy cheese from at least one inch around the visible mold. Molds are like icebergs - most of it is not visible. Some of them create toxins that can cause illness. So your best bet is to discard the moldy product.
Sour milk is not considered dangerous to consume, but it may taste unpleasant and can be a sign that the milk has started to spoil. It is best to discard sour milk to avoid any potential foodborne illnesses.
Because moldy chesse is a new prodcut made from an old one.
Example: a block of cheese has grown moldy. This is chemical spoilage. A block of cheese falls on the floor. This is mechanical spoilage.
Bread going moldy is a chemical change
It doesn't really matter.
The chemical reaction for moldy cheese involves the growth of mold spores on the cheese, primarily through the breakdown of proteins and fats by enzymes produced by the mold. The main chemical processes include enzymatic reactions that break down proteins and lipids in the cheese, leading to the characteristic changes in flavor, texture, and appearance. Additionally, the mold may produce byproducts such as organic acids that contribute to the sour taste of moldy cheese.
Yes. When cheese turns white it is moldy on the outside (oviously) but it is also moldy throughout the whole block of cheese. small particles and germs get in there when it looks good to eat but it is NOT!! do not eat cheese when it is molded on the out side because you get desices
cheese is to moldy
moldy cheese!
Well, think about it, would you want to eat moldy cheese?
In my living environment, a chemical change occurs when food is digested in the stomach, where complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones. In my non-living environment, a chemical change occurs when iron rusts due to exposure to oxygen and moisture, forming iron oxide.
cheese goes moldy beacause of the hight teck suff that people call toilets
What causes moldy cheese?? Are you serious?? Well, obviously from being out too long-or in the fridge too long.
